It's certainly possible to implement this feature the way mentioned when you know that the default HTTP handler will be able to transfer/share session information with the browser. But David's original request was for this to work the same way across desktops. We don't have any such support in GNOME, and I don't see it as something that's worth the effort either. I guess that brings David's question to a close. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
