[opensuse-kde] web browser config for evolution use in 4.10.5
I put 12.3/KDE on a neighbor/friend's puter last spring. He managed to pick Evolution to replace SeaMonkey, which we had originally set him up to use for email, after SeaMonkey's profile disintegrated months later. His KDE systemsettings has Firefox as default browser. When he clicks an Evolution email web URL, it opens SeaMonkey mail instead of opening the URL in Firefox. Anyone know what's required to get Firefox to open when he clicks a link in Evolution? Does he need to find, install and use Gnome's systemsettings to make such a configuration work? Is there some gconf config file line item that would do it instead of adding more Gnome clutter to KDE's menus? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Try: System Settinge -> Default Applications -> Web Brouser just a guess, but works on kde for me. Selecting a link pops up a menu with FireFox the deault selection. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

From the Gnome / GTK side there is the content of these files: ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/*/%gconf.xml
esp. the files
~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/%gconf.xml
~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/%gconf.xml
are of interest.
