Hi,
When DISPLAY and GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID is defined, sensible-browser tries to
execute /usr/bin/gnome-www-browser, and then tries to execute
/usr/bin/gnome-terminal -e "/usr/bin/www-browser \"$URL\"".
However, this behaviour doesn't work correctly because some browser
(e.g. iceweasel) doesn't provides /usr/bin/gnome-www-browser.
A package that provides gnome-www-browser is probably as follow:
$ aptitude search ~DProvides:gnome-www-browser
p epiphany-gecko - Intuitive GNOME web browser - Gecko versio
p epiphany-webkit - Intuitive GNOME web browser - webkit versi
p galeon - GNOME web browser for advanced users
p icedove-gnome-support - Support for Gnome in Icedove
p iceweasel-gnome-support - Support for Gnome in Iceweasel
The browser I have installed is only iceweasel without iceweasel-gnome-support,
so www-browser in gnome-terminal will be open when I execute sensible-browser.
I think it would be nice to change the behaviour as follow:
Check if gnome-www-browser is available, and execute it if it available.
*Check if x-www-browser is available, and execute it if it available.*
Finally, execute www-browser in gnome-terminal.
Here is a patch:
