This only changes the text editor for that type of file. Many different types of file open with a text editor, and it should be possible to change the system default for all of them. It should also be possible for each user to specify their default text editor. I prefer to use gvim for all my text editing needs, but I can see that other users of the system would prefer the current default of gedit. >From what I remember, older versions of GNOME did not seem to suffer from this problem. -- Matthew Newton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> UNIX and e-mail Systems Administrator, Network Support Section, Computer Centre, University of Leicester, Leicester LE1 7RH, United Kingdom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
