You are probably right. I will try whether wxWidgets upstream is as
responsive as you are. ;-)

export BROWSER=firefox
would probaly work.

I think you are misunderstanding me. I have got a webbrowser installed,
but hugin does not find it since it relies on KDE/Gnome
infrastructure to do so.
I have snipped your reasons why you do not want to rely the wx-help
anymore since your arguments were convincing.
For Debian I think we are going to use a patch like this one:
------------------------------------------

{
wxLogError(_("Can't start system's web browser"));
}

}
void MainFrame::OnTipOfDay(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(e))
------------------------------------------
Does this look ok? (sensible-browser is Debian specific script that
searches for a install browser and invokes the prefered one.
thanks, cu andreas
