[opensuse] Desktops and program behaviour
Hi all, I use OpenSUSE 10.1. Installed is also Firefox 2. I use several Desktops to organise my work environment. When I use a program like Evolution and click on a link that requires Firefox to open something, it opens the last Firefox I used. If i change my Desktop to another one, Firefox opens in the previous Desktop, which can be a nag, because I now have to search the Desktops to find the opened link. How can I ensure that only the present Desktop is used when opening a link, even if it means starting a new Firefox session. I do not want to disturb the other sessions on the other Desktops. Thanx :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Kontrol -> KDE-Komponents -> Komponents selection (or something like that.. the thing with the Gearwheel) (sorry, I don't know how to run Kontrol in a different language quickly). And select "Web-Browser" and select "with following Browser:"(or something like that) and enter "firefox -new-window" and tell us if it works :) With best regards Michael -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF1cafcHwbW/zlOZoRAkDDAJ4j1J0NrJRFfNBoay9kGws+xENMwwCdFBTY FRz6ngOTPeFZSFtMRrq0708= =l4l2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanx: It was "Personal Settings" -> "KDE Components" -> "Component Chooser" -> "Web Browser"

This can also be enhanced in Firefox with "Preferences" -> "Tabs" -> "New pages should be opened in: a new window/tab" But It did not change the behaviour opening in another desktop. My problem is that the Firefox that is open in Desktop 3 opens the next window when I work in Desktop 1 and click on a link in Evolution. When I work in Desktop 1, I want the Firefox in Desktop 1 to open and not the one in Desktop3. It seems to use the last active Firefox session, irrespective of the Desktop it is in. :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

yes that's true, some people say that's good ;) (and I think everyone has a different taste :D ) but I hope this way it's okay for you :) btw. you can see more options like this in 'man firefox' (Chapter: Firefox Options) With best regards Michael :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF1fs6cHwbW/zlOZoRArIPAKCEtOagAFXRsfMQ2UzrG/Ph3fz2gwCfWk1u 9ODhzlDawzwR27nMpXOccs4= =aMfb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
