The script should detect under which desktop it is running and then use the corresponding settings. It has a method for KDE (using mimeapps.list), gnome and generic. But it seems that the desktop detection is failing. This happens currently based on the environment variable XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP. This fails and therefore the generic method (using defaults.list) is used. As I am only running KDE, I found out that I can use the DESKTOP_SESSION variable, but I am not sure if this is also set for Gnome. Any other suggestion what I can use ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The included xdg-settings and xdg-mime scripts from Chromium are functioning as they should and they update the correct file. However they have been build to prefer the system default scripts. If xdg-utils is installed then an /usr/bin/xdg-mime script is available, which differs from the one delivered by Chromium in two ways. The first one is that the xdg-utils package does not contain any update for the KDE4 environment. So this results that nothing is set and secondly for the generic part, this xdg-utils package is using the defaults.list file instead of the mimeapps.list I will see if there is a newer version available that has the right support, otherwise I will change Chromium to use it's own scripts. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This makes also the option to set the browser as default within Chromium work. As indicated the browser is no longer setting itself directly as default. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
