Mark seems to refuse to post my default reply. ;) So, here it is for
Evolution 1.4.x and Evolution 1.2.x versions. The attached script even
uses tabs and may be more helpful than gnome-moz-remote. HTH

Evolution 1.4 / Gnome 2.x
-------------------------
Open the "Gnome Control Center" > Preferred Applications > Web Browser
or simply run:
# gnome-default-applications-properties
check 'Custom Web Browser'
Command: gnome-moz-remote --newwin "%s"
This will present you every link (clicked in a Gnome 2 app) in a new
mozilla window. If you prefer tabs (instead of new windows) like me,
change it similar like that:
Command: mozilla-remote.sh "%s"
Have the attached script in your path (or change the command to have the
whole path) and make the script executable.
Evolution 1.2 / Gnome 1.4
-------------------------
Check your ~/.gnome/Gnome file. You need something like that:
[URL Handlers]
default-show=gnome-moz-remote --newwin "%s"
If there are http-show or similar entries, change them, too.
gnome-moz-remote %s
will only open a new mozilla, when none running
displays the URL in the current mozilla (old content overwritten)
gnome-moz-remote --newwin %s
will only open a new mozilla, when none running
displays the URL in a new mozilla window
I use the following default-show entry:
default-show=/home/guenther/bin/mozilla-remote.sh "%s"
With the attached mozilla-remote.sh script (must be executable) it acts
like the --newwin option, but displays the new URL in a new *tab* if
there is already a mozilla running.
I don't lose the displayed URL and can even click multiple URLs and see
them all in the same mozilla.
If you have a ~/.gnome/gnome-moz-remote file, check it, rename it or
plain delete it. You can change settings there too, although you won't
need it.
