--- Comment #1 from Wolfgang Rosenauer wolfgang@rosenauer.org 2008-04-25 04:00:10 MST --- It's most probably the new gecko.handlerService ignoring the "old" network.protocol-handler settings. Looking into it...

--- Comment #2 from Wolfgang Rosenauer wolfgang@rosenauer.org 2008-04-28 00:49:36 MST --- ok, just for the record a few findings: The new handler service takes over even if prefs (or gconf) would know what should happen with a specific protocol. That smells like an upstream bug and doesn't seem to be intended. I'll look into it to solve it.

For the intention of using a pref to define the default handler for irc I'd say that shouldn't be done that way. gconf should provide a usable default handler for IRC:

wolfi@Hygiea:~> gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/irc/command purple-url-handler "%s" (don't know if pidgin currently works that way but anyway.)

Please note that even defining this with gconf doesn't solve the Firefox issue currently because of this bug.

--- Comment #3 from Wolfgang Rosenauer wolfgang@rosenauer.org 2008-04-29 02:38:22 MST --- More info: The network.protocol-handler.app.* prefs are obsolete and don't work anymore intentionally. gconf should still get us a default handler back.

--- Comment #5 from Wolfgang Rosenauer wolfgang@rosenauer.org 2008-04-29 07:38:46 MST --- It works for me. I'm currently investigation if there is any way to circumvent the popup with any kind of config but it should work. (It's a bit ugly since it writes "purple-url-handler" what is not very userfriendly but it's found at least)

Michael, mozilla-helperapp.patch in xulrunner and I removed the obsolete prefs from firefox-suse-default-prefs.js in MozillaFirefox.

--- Comment #6 from Magnus Boman captain.magnus@opensuse.org 2008-04-29 19:41:01 MST --- Created an attachment (id=211325) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=211325) Screenshot

mboman@mblxsrv01:~> rpm -qa mozilla-xul* mozilla-xulrunner181-1.8.1.13-7 mozilla-xulrunner190-1.8.99.5-13.1 mozilla-xulrunner190-gnomevfs-1.8.99.5-13.1

1) I didn't get xchat by default (even though it was in the list). It defaulted to "Choose an application" 2) Selecting xchat and OK did nothing (it didn't even close the selection window) 3) Click on "Choose" and then browse for /usr/bin/xchat works

The two xchat entries look different (the one I selected by browsing to /usr/bin/xchat) has got an icon. The one that I added to gconf does not have an icon.

I had this in gconf; /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/irc command=/usr/bin/xchat --existing --url=%s

--- Comment #10 from Magnus Boman captain.magnus@opensuse.org 2008-04-30 00:30:07 MST --- Ok, found that the following key was missing and after adding it, it works.

mboman@mblxsrv01:~> gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/irc/enabled true

So if we can get rid of the dialog box now, it'd be perfect, but I also don't see that as something that needs priority.
