Well, I got this to work mostly as desired. Turns out that even after running "xdg-settings set default-web-browser browser_vm.desktop" (and confirmed with "xdg-settings get default-web-browser"), I had to remove all .desktop files in the working VM (not the browser VM) related to Chrome and Firefox. That included files located in ~/.local/share/applications and in /usr/share/applications. Unfortunately, I really want to use Firefox in the browser VM, but only Chrome will launch. Still working on addressing that. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
