that sounds like a very limited view of what gnome-open and such are used for. Via evolution, gnome_url_show can be used to open anything that gets emailed around. > (2) As far as I know, Mozilla and firefox are still basically broken > in this respect and there's not a lot we can do about it; those two > apps need to support startup-notification as launchees (including the > timestamp part of startup notification).

I'd love to think everyone is using epiphany, but we all know that isn't the truth, so that is going to be a really irritating regression for a lot of users. > (3) Crispin and Christian have already added code to Galeon and > Epiphany to try to make them handle not being launched with startup > notification (from a quick glance at the code, I think they could do a > little bit better, but nothing to worry about before 2.10).

It doesn't work for me from xchat + gnome-open with latest released versions of everything and epiphany as my default browser. Is this known or something I should file/reopen?
