having a problem getting Gnome to open URLs in the system default browser.
It's set for Firefox under the Preferred Applications app, checked it in
gconf-editor (/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/ and
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/), /etc/alternatives (gnome-www-browser
and x-www-browser), yet pretty much everything (Xchat, Lotus Notes,
Thunderbird, etc) insist on opening links under Midori. They used to open
under Chromium until I uninstalled that.
I'd recheck the alternatives system. The apps you listed would be
more likely to call an external command and not rely on a gconf
setting.
I followed the links through from /etc/alternatives to their eventual
destination, and they are definitely calling the Firefox shell script in
it's own program directory.
