Re: winebrowser: Use user's preferred browser
+kfmclient exec,gnome-open,kmail,mozilla-thunderbird,thunderbird,evolution; A Gnome user will be offended if you spool up the entire KDE environment just to launch a URL; a KDE user will be similarly offended by gnome-open. Further, if I'm a Gnome user, I may have KDE on my system, and kfmclient exec may work, but it's likely to not be the browser I *really* want used. The standard that's developing is that you don't invoke a KDE program unless KDE_FULL_DESKTOP is set and you don't invoke a Gnome session unless GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID is set. Cheers, Jeremy

Cheers, Jeremy I had thought about this, though I wasn't aware of any good way of detecting KDE/Gnome running. A quick googling shows that it's actually KDE_FULL_SESSION though, not KDE_FULL_DESKTOP. I'll add in this feature and post an updated patch shortly. - Neil

KMail understands mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] URLs for me at least (tested on KDE 3.5.2 and KDE 3.4.3). 'kmail mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]' brings up a new message addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], as expected. - Neil
