YEAHHH!!! Finally someone who stepped forward and *explained* what to

Aehmm, I have set the default browser in about 10 places and still gnome
ignores it?!?!

Umpf, I have removed the x-scheme-handler/http and x-scheme-handler/https
ffrom the chromium-browser.desktop and called update-desktop-database,
now midori starts.
Then I edited midori.desktop, now epiphany-browser starts,
where does that end???
I checked xdg-open, and it calls gvfs-open, which in turn (checking the
sources) calls
g_app_info_launch_uris
from gio/gappinfo.h which belongs to libglib2.0-dev. There I tried
to read the code but gave up.
I suggest to raise the severity to serious, and reassign to
libglib2.0*whatever*.
WDYT?

I consider that not minor. If alphabetic order is what I am forced to

Adding the "x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;" entries to iceweasel.desktop doesn't really solve the issue, because there doesn't seem to be a mechanism to define priorities in update-desktop-database, so gvfs-open uses the first entry in mimeinfo.cache.

Thanks a lot!!!
Ahhh, and how does one fix that? This is misbehaviour. Whom should
this bug reported to? mime or chromium?
The point is that xdg/gvfs/whatever should use what is configured for
it.
Why do we need:
- *-browser in alternatives
- dedicated gnome setting
- whatever else
if at the end gvfs-open uses mime which is messed up?

chromium-browser is taking over all URLs
Hi everyone, esp chromium and mime devs,
since some time chromium has taken over all http/https urls. I checked
every place I could for the correct settings, but I didn't manage to
find the real culprit. It seems that gnome/VTE/whatever uses xdg-open,
which in turn uses gvfs-open.
Reading throught the straces of gvfs-open I see references to mime.
I checked:
- alternatives of: x-www-browser, sensible-browser, www-browser, gnome-browser
and all of them point to iceweasel
- checked the "preferred applications" in GNOME and it also shows
iceweasel
- checked with
xdg-settings get default-web-browser
also iceweasel
I am a bit lost now where to go, I always get chromium, which I don't want,
but I want to keep it around in case I need it for some web sites.
Please advice anyone?!
Best wishes
