I think the main problem is not what your favorite browser is, it is that if you don't have firefox (or gnome), you won't be able to open links and it leaves you rather clueless at what to do. No error is thrown, and there is no settings in the preferences that lets you set one.
Take the case where you install xchat, epiphany-gecko, with openbox. You will ran exactly in the situation where the links don't open. Installing xdg-utils will provide xdg-open which tries its best to open the "file" passed in argument with the application corresponding to the right mime-type. And it does a good job at opening links. At last, I don't know a graphical tool to select the favorite browser with only xdg-utils, however I choosed it with the exo-utils (exo-preferred-applications). But that's not the point, as xdg-utils is a freedesktop compliant tool that makes the user happy on any desktop. I hope I caught your attention that xdg-utils is a clean set of tools. Having it in Suggest will help, and I think it could live besides libnotify-bin. Regards, Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
