There's no way that's going to happen. If it wants me to open firefox then it should ask me, and provide the URL it wants to open if I choose to be careful.
I'm curious. You mention you use LXDE not KDE. IIR LXDE uses the Gnome libraries and much of the related config. What is the setting you have for the default browser to use? What browser do other applications want to use
PS now I'm annoyed with claws as well. Because you send signed messages (for reasons I understand and respect) claws decided I wanted to send a signed reply, despite me never having given it any credentials. Stupid program!
Hmm. Sending a signed reply to a signed message seems reasonable enough to me, but as you say, if you haven't set up the credentials it does seem futile? There gets to be a point where the amount of programming it takes to make an application not merely user friendly, but also use friendly in terms of readable, understandable (by non nerds and geeks) the configuration AND responds with what seems to normal people to be "common sense" gets to be a lot of code. A lot of code easily becomes complex or becomes a maintenance headache because of the sheer volume. Better languages help; I can do a lot more in a few lines of Perl or Ruby than I can in a page of C or C++. Wait though, yes Perl often looks like 'line noise'. But as the contest showed, you can write obscure unintelligible code in any language. http://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/22533/weirdest-obfuscated-hello-... How enamoured are you with Claws? Or Firefox for that matter? Part of the whole FOSS ethos is about alternatives. I like Firefox but for some things I find Konqueror is a better web browsers, and yes I can run Konqueror from LXDE. I use KDE but I don't use KMail. Thanks to POP & IMAP I can use a wide variety of mailers, including K-9 on my phone. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
