Is there any workaround for the many of us who do _not_ use GNOME? Copy/pasting links is certainly no fun :(


yeah ... the cause is that location of global config files moved down
one folder. Previously we had a hack that allowed you to drop configs
in /etc/icedove/ ... now we have a clean solution that introduces an
official syspref foloder, which is:

$ ls -l /usr/lib/icedove/defaults/syspref
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jun  1 22:35
/usr/lib/icedove/defaults/syspref -> /etc/icedove/pref

... so copying your current /etc/icedove/ files to /etc/icedove/pref/
should fix this for you ... if not, then I forgot to apply the syspref
patch ... so let me know if this workaround actually works for you.


Does not seem like this is the case. I did a completely clean install of icedove (apt-get --purge remove) and checked with find that no icedove parts were left behind in /etc or /usr. I also moved both .mozilla and .mozilla-thunderbird out of the way, so none of my personal settings could interfere. The result is the same:

* Clicking on http: links in icedove does not spawn an iceweasel
* Clicking on mailto: links in iceweasel does not spawn an icedove compose screen
