GNOME switched to using the x-scheme-handler/http(s) for the default
browser, instead of a custom GConf setting.

It's GNOME3 specific, so this is what we'll need in Fedora going forward
(from F15 onwards).

Right, it seems that the upstream isn't as dead as I thought and Rex is
a committer, so I should fix it up.

new patch
Adds the ability to detect GNOME 3.x, on its own, and also ports the
mailto functionality to x-scheme-handler.
I also tested the GNOME3 code path more thoroughly for the browser
settings, and it works as expected on the command-line, and when used in
chromium ("check" to detect the current browser, and "set" to set
chromium as the default browser).

[Bug 670128] Re: gnome-open uses firefox while it's not the preferred browser
I now have chromium-browserchromium-browser 9.0.587.0~r66374-0ubuntu1~ucd~dev2 from ppa:chromium-daily-dev, which has already been updated to include MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml_xml;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https; in /usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop. However, this isn’t sufficient to cause Chromium to act as the default browser, either when I select it in gnome-default-applications, or when I tell Chromium to make itself the default browser in its Preferences page. It finally worked after I manually ran xdg-mime default chromium-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/http xdg-mime default chromium-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/https gnome-default-applications-properties needs to be updated to set the default associations for these new types, and xdg-settings needs to be updated so that chromium can set them for itself. -- gnome-open uses firefox while it's not the preferred browser https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/670128 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Downgrade to a glib2 that's not targetted for GNOME 3, or upgrade the control-center to GNOME 3. It's a packaging bug, with mismatching versions. -- gnome-open uses firefox while it's not the preferred browser https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/670128 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
