Correction :
Pidgin uses ~/.purple/ to save all the preferences. I have the directory
and all the related xml configs. I also found that pidgin DOES make some
change in prefs.xml every time I change the browser preference. But for
some reason this change does not achieve what it is supposed to....
As this is more about correctly changing the preferences rather than
saving the preferences, I changed name of the bug to reflect this.
Here are excerpts from prefs.xml corresponding to each browser option:
When Browser is set to "GNOME_Default"
<pref name='browsers'>
<pref name='place' type='int' value='0'/>
<pref name='command' type='path' value=''/>
<pref name='browser' type='string' value='gnome-open'/>
</pref>
When Browser is set to konqueror:
<pref name='browsers'>
<pref name='place' type='int' value='0'/>
<pref name='command' type='path' value=''/>
<pref name='browser' type='string' value='kfmclient'/>
</pref>
When Browser is set to Manual (Command : /usr/local/bin/icecat %s)
<pref name='browsers'>
<pref name='place' type='int' value='0'/>
<pref name='command' type='path' value=''/>
<pref name='browser' type='string' value='custom'/>
</pref>
Note: Preference name command has no value.
Thanks,
Alok
