You probably should make sure both the GNOME preferred applications and Debian's alternative (x-www-browser) point to iceweasel. The former you change in System-Preferences-Preferred Applications the latter you use update-alternatives to change. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://therning.org/magnus pgphDCzNavQsJ.pgp Description: PGP signature

Jeff Open a terminal (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-F2 or xterm or Gnome-Terminal or Konsole, etc). Become root (e.g. sudo ... or su -). Run the command update-alternatives --config x-www-browser. Select the desired default. (update-alternatives without parameters will give you a short help screen, or man update-alternatives for the full treatment). (Look in /etc/alternatives (i.e. ls /etc/alternatives) for the items that can be configured.) -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
