The workaround seems to fix the bug, except for a detail. After setting network.protocol-handler.warn-external-default to false, when I click on a mailto: link, I get a Sylpheed compose window, but also a new Sylpheed instance, if Sylpheed was already running. This is strange and should not happen, since if I issue the following command from a terminal, while Sylpheed is running: $ sylpheed --compose y...@example.tld I get a compose window for the already running instance of Sylpheed, as I am supposed to get. Taking into account that: $ gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command sylpheed --compose %s I really cannot understand why clicking on a mailto: link from Galeon should result in a different outcome, with respect to the command-line invocation! I tested Epiphany, again, and it works as intended (no new instance of Sylpheed). > > The fix will be in the next upload. When is this next upload planned?

tags 405387 + fixed pending thanks Workaround: Set network.protocol-handler.warn-external-default to false from about:config. Tricky to debug and such an anticlimactic result, I'm disappointed.

Update: on galeon/2.0.7-1, when I follow a mailto: link a dialog window appears. This dialog window is titled "chrome://mozapps/content/handling/dialog.xul" and includes a list with one single item named "Choose an Application" with a "Choose..." button. At the bottom two standard "Cancel" and "OK" buttons. Why should I choose something? I have *already* made my choice at gconf level (which should work for my user in all gconf-aware applications!). I reiterate that Galeon should use gconf settings in order to determine which mail user agent should be invoked when the user follows a mailto: link. -- New location for my website!

Even if there is this workaround (which I haven't yet tried out), I still think that Galeon should use gconf settings in order to determine which mail user agent should be invoked when the user follows a mailto: link. I issued the following command: $ gconftool-2 --type=string \ --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command \ 'sylpheed --compose %s' and now it seems that gconf is knows about my mail user agent of choice: $ gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command sylpheed --compose %s Nonetheless, Galeon seems to ignore this setting entirely.

It's a significant downside, IMHO: I don't want to bloat my system just for the mailto: link feature! -- On some search engines, searching for my nickname AND "nano-documents" may lead you to my website... .

Package: galeon Version: 2.0.2-4 Followup-For: Bug #405387 For Galeon, I solved this installing gnome-control-center, running gnome-default-applications-properties and choosing from the drop-downs "Galeon" as the default application and "Mutt" as the mailclient. Trying to set the relevant keys manually via gconftool-2 apparently did not help (maybe I'm not skilled enough for that; any hint? :) ). Don't know for other browsers, I guess it could be done similarly by fiddling with the options. The only downside of this is the number of dependencies brought in by gnome-control-center (personally I don't use Gnome and it's a pity to have to install so many otherwise useless packages just to setup that single option).

Bug#405387: galeon: fails to send email (really!)
Package: galeon Version: 2.0.2-4 Severity: normal Clicking on an email address in a webpage fails to bring up mutt. I have mutt set as the default mail program in the gnome configuration system, indicating also that it must run in a terminal window. This lack of response occurs in epiphany-browser and firefox as well, suggesting a Gnome-wide problem. Mutt is installed and it works. Email works on browsers in the current stable distribution. I cleaned out my stable distribution gnome files to see if it was a conflict with the old configuration. The testing installation was also from scratch, to avoid possible config file conflicts with stable on the root level. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages galeon depends on: ii galeon-common 2.0.2-4 GNOME web browser for advanced use ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-01.12.3-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.14.0-3 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.14.0-5 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.2.4-4 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.4.1-2 generic font configuration library ii libgconf2-42.16.0-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-01:2.6.0-3 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-desktop-2 2.14.3-1 Utility library for loading .deskt ii libgnome-keyring0 0.6.0-3 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome2-02.16.0-2 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.14.0-2 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.14.1-2 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 2.14.2-4 GNOME virtual file-system (runtime ii libgtk2.0-02.8.20-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice61:1.0.1-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libmozjs0d 1.8.0.8-1 The Mozilla SpiderMonkey JavaScrip ii libnspr4-0d1.8.0.8-1 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii liborbit2 1:2.14.3-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.14.8-3 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.10-3lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsm6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Session Management library ii libstartup-notification0 0.8-2 library for program launch feedbac ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-4 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor11.1.7-4 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.1-5 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 1:1.0.1-4 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4.1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml22.6.27.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.1.0.2-5 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender11:0.9.1-3 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxul0d 1.8.0.8-1 Gecko engine library ii procps 1:3.2.7-3 /proc file system utilities Versions of packages galeon recommends: ii gnome-control-center 1:2.14.2-6 utilities to configure the GNOME d ii gnome-icon-theme 2.14.2-2 GNOME Desktop icon theme ii iso-codes 0.58-1 ISO language, territory, currency ii scrollkeeper 0.3.14-11 A free electronic cataloging syste ii yelp 2.14.3-1 Help browser for GNOME 2 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
