Description Luke Schierer 2005-06-16 18:48:04 UTC 
In gaim, we are currently using gnome-open if we detect that gaim is being run
in inside gnome.  Many people are complaining about this because it means that
links do not get opened in a tab in their existing browser.  While apparently
some browsers have an option to force such external links to be opened in a new
tab, I do not think this should be necessary, rather the environment should
offer a way to uniformly handle this.

This is almost certainly not the correct way to file this bug, I appologize for
that in advance, but I was unsure what component to file it against.

Trying another product..

Disagree with the preference. How should GNOME know some app has a special
command line to open in a new tab? Belongs in the app.
