Package: debianutils
Version: 2.15.2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
The GNOME browsers packages (Galeon, Epiphany, Firefox Gnome Support)
have been modified in order to register the gnome-www-browser
alternative. I wish sensible-browser would prefer launching
gnome-www-browser instead of x-www-browser when running GNOME (see
attached patch).
This would in turn permit GNOME to use sensible-browser as its
default browser under Debian.
Cheers,
PS: the patch also changes slightly how x-terminal-emulator is run for
consistency
