Bug#810302: Browser choice not fully documented
That is very well. However it still doesn't narrow down how the user can influence what browser is chosen. After searching the web, I removed my entire ~/.local, and was still not able to influence what browser it chose. If you know how to influence what browser it chooses, please document it somewhere. Thank you. > "AP" == Ari Pollakwrites: AP> It uses gtk_show_uri(): https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/gtk/gtkshow.c?h=gtk-2-24=b9c9919fe22dd243b3771c6b59d7e751e556753b

Bug#810302: Browser choice not fully documented
You say gimp is using my default browser. Then how exactly is that computed? I read all of https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/plug-ins/help/ and cannot find the answer. Non of /etc/alternatives point to the browser it ends up using. Not any of gnome-www-browser sensible-browser www-browser x-www-browser are the one it ends up using either. $BROWSER is not consulted either. In file:///usr/share/gimp/2.0/help/en/gimp-pimping.html#gimp-prefs-help "Note that the GIMP help browser is not available on all platforms. If it is missing, this option is hidden and the standard web browser will be used to read the help pages." $ gimp --dump-gimprc|grep brows (help-browser web-browser) /etc/gimp/2.0/gimprc: # Sets the browser used by the help system. Possible values are gimp and # web-browser. # (help-browser web-browser) $ strings /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/web-browser : plug-in-web-browser URL to open Henrik Brix AndersenOpens the given URL in the user specified web browser. Open an URL in the user specified web browser Anyway gimp must have a hidden way of picking which browser it wants. E.g., using it on account 'nobody' will end up with chromium if chromium is installed, despite chromium being not in any alternatives or what any of /usr/bin/* link to.
