But to be more complete: Thunderbird has gconf as dependency so it should be available on your system. If it is, you could check via gconf-editor (if installed, since this is no requirement) what is set as url-handler for http and https. But the following command should show you the value anyway: gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command like: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command firefox %s If all that is correct I'm interested in some more information and probably a bugreport in bugzilla.novell.com Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
