Description venkat 2002-03-19 09:01:59 UTC 
OS - Red Hat Linux 7.1 & Solaris 8.

Reproducibility : Always

Steps ro reproduce : Always

1) Start gnome about(Type the command "gnome-about" at the command prompt).

2) if i click on any link say "gnome news site" , "Mozilla not found" 
message is displayed.

3) I found that mozilla not installed. I think gnome-about should be
  able to invoke  default browser(netscape) in the case of mozilla 
browser not found.

upping priority, clarifying summary a little bit. Should be an easy
fix, too- just calling the default_url_handler func, or whatever it's
called ;)
Comment 2 Mark McLoughlin 2002-03-28 10:03:23 UTC 
These are only GnomeHrefs's, therefore this is a libgnomeui bug
Comment 3 Luis Villa 2002-03-29 22:42:23 UTC 
Probably then really a duplicate of bug 71632.
Comment 4 Anders Carlsson 2002-04-08 22:35:15 UTC 
Yes, that's true.
