Re: gnome-default-applications-properties

[Ron Salyers <rsalyers cse ohio-state edu>]

If I run gnome-default-applications-properties and set my preference for 
mail to be Thunderbird the file 
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/%gconf.xml  has the command to fire 
up Evolution.  If I run Thunderbird then this file will change to fire 
up Thunderbird.  There are no other references to Thunderbird or 
Evolution in those two directories.

The fact that it changes the mailto setting after I click on the email 
link on the panel to run my email client tells me that it's changing it 
somewhere else.  I would assume the mailto setting is only for when you 
click on an email address.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks a bunch!
