Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xchat
After upgrading Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 9.10 I have noticed that XChat ability of opening links with left mouse button has stopped working with my Gnome desktop. I also have noticed that XChat URL handling in general works but you have to right click inside the program now and pick "Open Link in Browser" from the menu. In Ubuntu 9.04 when I left-clicked on URL inside XChat window, link was automatically opened in my Firefox browser. I found XChat FAQ entry which is describing similar case: http://xchat.org/faq/#q221 . I have checked all suggested steps in this entry, but in fact I have all settings set properly, (/set gui_url_mod 0 and update-alternatives --config x-www-browser). I also issued xdg-open command with random URL from terminal to make sure that xdg-open function which is using XChat is working properly and it worked fine. I also consulted with XChat developers but they couldn't help me and suggested that something may be broken in XChat package provided by my Linux distribution.
