Right, under '/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/' there are numerous protocols. Including things like mailto, icq, irc, lastfm, vnc, callto, etc.... It would really be cool if all/most of them where set correctly. But then somehow it's also redundant with hildonmime. Hildon is using the the .desktop files for this kind of information. Unfortunately it looks like there is not a single function call to make use of that. We could have a package which corrects all of those settings and then our packages could depend on it. But then again it's static and if you install new applications that could handle, for example vnc:// urls, the information wouldn't get updated. It seems like there really should be a hildon function which opens URIs depending on the values in the .desktop files. Maybe I just didn't find it yet? Anyways, thanks for the pointer Andrew :) Conny _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
