Let me explain why I wanted you to perform that at all: Thunderbird 5 is using/should use GIO to get the default application for HTTP (at least on 11.4). Thunderbird 3.x was using GConf.
Ah. So it _was_ the upgrade to T'Bird 5!
Likely. Thunderbird now uses the (with 11.4) recommended way to determine the default http handler. The problem is that using Firefox under KDE doesn't handle that automatically. That's a weak point of the Firefox KDE integration as it ignores other Gtk applications in that case.
The "gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command" is no longer relevant.
It might be for other applications though still using the old way.
But wait a moment! I still have
# ps -fe | grep gconf anton 3959 1 0 06:40 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/GConf/2/gconfd-2
WHY? What starts that? Can I kill it off? Can I stop it from running in the first place?
GConf is still used for a lot of stuff within Gnome and Gtk so it's still used.
And GIO?
GIO has no daemon so you won't see it in the process list.
That makes sense. I wish I could figure out E17 - I'd have used that if I could.
I think you can create the needed GIO configuration manually by adding (or modifying) the file ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list and making sure the following is being set there: [Default Applications] x-scheme-handler/http=firefox.desktop x-scheme-handler/https=firefox.desktop Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
