This should make the viewer selection no worse than it was before I added those, but won't recognize kde/gnome/whatever properly.

I may try to enhance the viewer selection in future versions by looking at those variables also. Do you have a pointer to this in the KDE documentation? In the meanwhile, you can still select your prefered viewer in your local configuration file. > For Manuel: This is the texdoc version as shipped on the DVD, not that > fixes you put it after release. > Ok. I can provide you with a patch against 0.47 so that gnome-open etc come at the end of the list, which is done in current versions of texdoc. Or you can update texdoc from current TL. Or whatever you suggest. Manuel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
