At a guess? Install 'debianutils' and see if that works. sudo apt-get install debianutils To debug this run: bash -x /etc/urlview/url_handler.sh http://www.debian.org/ 2>/tmp/url_handler.out Then look at the shell trace. The script starts out looking for /usr/bin/sensible-browser and if found launches it in the same window. But if not found it will try to launch other browsers in a terminal (started with x-terminal-emulator) if possible. This might not be the problem but if you don't have debianutils installed then /usr/bin/sensible-browser won't be found and it will fall back. In any case looking at the debug of that script should tell the story of what it is doing. Bob
