Description Benjamin Otte (Company) 2008-02-18 14:22:08 UTC 
swfdec-player should open URLs that were clicked in the browser. This is pretty simple to implement, but might have security implications as handing random strings somewhere is not always safe. (Think opening "rm -rf ~")

This should probably be done using GdkAppLaunchContext, which will only be aded during Gnome 2.24.

swfdec-gnome development has been stalled and it has been unmaintained for a few years now. Maintainers don't have future development plan so i am closing the bugs as WONTFIX. Please feel free to reopen the bugs in future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development.
