Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
Ubuntu Hardy beta, all updates installed 1. Install Galeon. 2. In Preferred Applications, set Galeon as your default browser. 3. Open a Web shortcut in Nautilus, or enter "xdg-open http://example.com/"; in a terminal, to check that it opens in Galeon. 4. Uninstall Galeon. 5. Open a Web shortcut in Nautilus, or enter "xdg-open http://example.com/"; in a terminal. 6. See what the default browser is in Preferred Applications. What happens: 5. You get an error message. 6. The default browser is described as "Custom" and shows the no-longer-existing "galeon". What should happen: 5. Ubuntu should fall back to another browser automatically. 6. This automatically-chosen browser should be shown in Preferred Applications. Probably this will require a specification that I don't have time to write -- I'm just recording it here before I forget. If anyone else wants to work on it, I would be very grateful. :-) <seb128> the issue is that the default is written in the gconf configuration <seb128> and the capplet is only a way to change this key ... <seb128> but if we want to do dynamic adjustment we need something running all the time doing the work ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center Ubuntu Hardy beta, all updates installed 1.
