Description Reinout van Schouwen 2004-02-01 23:01:48 UTC 
The Preferred Applications capplet lets me set the preferred browser to
Epiphany, but to my surprise doesn't touch the gconf key
/desktop/gnome/applications/browser/exec

nor does it create/modify the [Mozilla] field in ~/.gnome/gnome-moz-remote
. Doing this would improve the chances of apps actually selecting the right
browser.

Promoted to high priority. Added bugsquad keyword.
Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2004-12-29 21:13:08 UTC 
anybody knows if /desktop/gnome/applications/browser/exec is used by something ?

Comment 4 Christoffer Olsen 2005-01-04 19:21:24 UTC 
The URL-handlers seem to be the way things work these days. I doubt that this is
relevant at all anymore. At least in Hoary, the capplet sets unknown, http,
https and about.
Comment 5 Reinout van Schouwen 2005-01-04 19:26:26 UTC 
Maybe, but for external / non-GNOME apps, gnome-moz-remote is an easy and
efficient way to pass a URL. Since we have it, why not make sure it works as can
be expected?
Comment 6 Kjartan Maraas 2005-01-07 12:07:40 UTC 
gnome-moz-remote is no more. End of discussion :-)
Comment 7 Reinout van Schouwen 2005-01-07 12:19:10 UTC 
What about the gconf key, then?
