Tedious but straightforward

I guess I'll need to dig deeper.

\r\n\r\nBut good news, I did find more places to Fixify.

\r\n\r\nBad news, you have to use gconf-editor or blast into the xml yourself, and other places too.

\r\n\r\nHavoc, yes, I am sure you feel my pain when I say: DAM YOU!

\r\n\r\nDetails for gconf-editor:

These need to be changed to x-www-browser %s

/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/\r\n
unknown/command
\r\n
about/command
\r\n
http/command
\r\n
https/command
\r\n
ftp/command
\r\n
gopher/command
\r\n
chrome/command
\r\nThe following also needs to be changed to x-www-browser

/desktop/gnome/applications/\r\n
browser/exec

\r\nMore as I find them.

\r\n\r\nIf you dare to edit the holy XML, you are on your own. I will not fix any problems you come up with. You see, I am not a proper Gnome Citizen. Therefore, I am not helping the situation by allowing people to work on making things the way they want.

\r\n\r\nBUT, if you have the package jabber-helpdesk-ziwt-greg installed, you might get some help.

Freaking stupid, it is. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats]. [link\|http://DocHope.com\|http://DocHope.com]
Post #251,616 by folkert 4/10/06 4:38:36 PM Reply	Debian has made the alternatives available. (plus KDE upd) But, it is up to the app developers to do the standardization. Now for KDE, I found in the control center that there are a myriad of locations. There is in KDE Components, Component Chooser. There is both email-client and web-browser. Set those to your choosing (but web-browser) should still be `/usr/bin/x-www-browser` For the Internet & Network, Web Browser location... all of that applies to Konqueror and Konq only. After that for KDE, I don't know and you will probably have to fix each Application as they do it wrong. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.

My last guess is the changes aren't applied until I restart KDE. Will confirm that shortly. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Post #251,747 by drewk 4/11/06 12:47:22 PM Reply	Quanta, which is an editor not a browser I assume it's because it's a .aspx link, but the only place I can find Quanta listed is in the KDE Control Center -> KDE Components -> File Associations menu as one of the handlers for html. But I already deleted Quata as an available handler for it. So I'm out of ideas what is causing it to come up. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats]. [link\|http://DocHope.com\|http://DocHope.com]

Post #251,781 by folkert 4/11/06 2:38:49 PM Reply	I'd purge that puppy. The other two package are meta-packages that are used to make installation easier. You don't NEED to have them. `apt-get remove --purge quanta kde kdewebdev` basically only removes quanta The meta packages are optional and really only useful for installation.

Post #251,959 by folkert 4/12/06 6:59:27 PM Reply	No, not at all. What it is is a "package" that depends on a prefdefined set of installable items. It is for ease of installation. Instead of and `apt-get install <insert 350 specific packages to get a "workable" install of KDE>` You get to do this:`apt-get install kde` -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.
