Re: [Evolution] Evolution email links.



Ouch, that's allot of work!
You mail did remind me though to log into Gnome and just set it up there
under the configuration tools.

Thanks.

If you do not have the Gnome Control Center installed (as you are
using KDE) there are instructions at the bottom how to set this using
gconftool.

So here we go again with the most-wanted answer... ;-)


Setting default browser (Evolution 1.4 / Gnome 2.x)
---------------------------------------------------

Open the "Gnome Control Center" > Preferred Applications > Web Browser
or simply run:
$ gnome-default-applications-properties

 check 'Custom Web Browser'
 Command: gnome-moz-remote --newwin "%s"

This will present you every link (clicked in a Gnome 2 app) in a new
mozilla window. If you prefer tabs (instead of new windows) like me,
change it similar like that:

 Command: mozilla-remote.sh "%s"

Have the attached script in your path (or change the command to have the
whole path) and make the script executable.


If you want to use another browser rather than Mozilla, you have to
adjust the command (or the script for most of them, to enable tabs).


Setting default browser using *gconftool*
-----------------------------------------

You will need GConf (and the gconf daemon running) to set this. If you
do *not* have the Gnome Control Center installed, there is a way to set
this using GConf directly:

See, which values are stored in that sub-tree. Save the output to a
file, so you can revert to those settings!

$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown
 command = mozilla %s
 need-terminal = false
 enabled = true

Now, this should enter all those values (at least, they work for me):

$ gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/command 'mozilla %s'
$ gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/need-terminal false
$ gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/enabled true
