[PATCH] Preferred Application chooser fixes

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109738#c6 control-center-2.5.3-preferred.patch * Fixes drop down menu options "Mozilla/Netscape 6" was removed because "mozilla" really does not describe netscape. Note that the options in this part of the patch are really Fedora specific, so modify it however you want for generic GNOME. * Fixes s/needs_terminal/need-terminal/ typo Very few things actually read this key, but might as well fix this too. * Changes http, https, and unknown keys rather than just http key This is the cause of many issues like "I set a preferred browser or mail client" but it still uses the old default problems. This patch is against control-center-2.5.3.
It turns out that "needs_terminal" is correct while need-terminal in the default gconf schema (from GNOME 2.0 until today) is what needs to be changed. I am redoing the patch and splitting off the Fedora specific stuff when I wake up.
Much apologies, the I have reversed my opinion in the previous comment. Please see details here. Patches are forthcoming. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109738#c9
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/process_bug.cgi#c10 Probably too late for GNOME 2.6, but put here for tracking purposes.
Warren, can you attach to this bugzilla whatever patch is coming to us please? Thanks.
These issues has been fixed in gnome-control-center 2.8.1.
