The way upstream GNOME recommends is what firefox does, ship a .desktop
and have a preference option in the browser to choice if urls should be
opened in tab or new instances

Title:
cannot create custom preferred applications
@Vanessa: there is not only one option, browsers should register and be
listed there, epiphany (the GNOME browser), firefox and chromium do it
at least
** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed = Triaged
** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu Natty)
By that logic Chrome should have 2 entries, the default one and another
one with the --new-window option. So I should file a bug against
chromium-browser (Ubuntu) to add this entry?

Redirected from Bug #729603, the default mail and browser applications
can not be changed, this should NOT be wishlist - there is no point
having an option to set a default browser when there is only one
possible option!
This is a severe usability issue and should be considered as such.

What is the point of having this as an option IF YOU CANNOT CHANGE it.
For Preferred EMail Client I get ONLY Evolution. No Custom, no Thunderbird, no

In addition to this problem, when I installed Google chrome as a

the option for chrome has disappeared, and 11.04 now insists my default

effect either.

All I want is to set Opera to run with a -newwindow switch by default,

@abi: Here's how I did that for Chrome, using #24. You can do this for

1) Get a copy of your existing one (from
/usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop).
2) Edit the Exec line to add the switch. I added --new-window.
3) Call the file something like

I still have NO option for custom commands in preffered applications?

options are there.

Looks like this has not been commented on in a few days, but I am still
experiencing the problem.
My issue, however, is only with the email setting. I uninstalled
Evolution to see if that would help, but now I just don't have anything
associated with the email setting in Preferred Applications.
FYI, gnome-gmail-1.7.2-1ubuntu3, in ppa:daves/daves, has the fix that
adds GNOME Gmail back into the Preferred Applications selection list.
Per bug #729357, the problem was the missing x-scheme-handler mimetype
in the desktop file.

For Opera it worked when i added the following to the .desktop file:

However, there should be a possibility to set the default app via

Indeed, using gconf-editor may allow to set some default app. (but

how is one then supposed to change e.g. the email client from evolution to

pointing users to edit gconf is not exactly a user friendly solution for this
