Re: kde preferences setting in gnome?

I use KDE and I always find that it is best to set up gnome preferences in gnome, so that when I run the programs in KDE, they will work correctly. I gather you are using Gnome, but want to use some KDE programs. Likely, you would do best to go into KDE and set it up correctly there, then go back into Gnome and hopefully all will work okay. Maybe you could just run systemsettings from within gnome, too? I am not sure where you would make the setting that you want, but the only thing I can think of is: KDE system settings general tab default applications web browser. There, the default is application based on contents of the URL. Try changing this to the second option and specify firefox. You might need some sort of %s or %u or something like that thing after, but I don't understand those or how you figure out which one. Nevertheless, this should do the trick. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Yes, System Settings can be fired up under any X11 environment, just execute the systemsettings command.
