I've seen several debates on how to detect GNOME or its version, but I don't remember seeing any conclusive answer. For what you need, though, I believe a good approach would be to check if the user has a gconfd running (not much of GNOME would be usable otherwise), and if so, see if there's a /desktop/gnome/applications/browser key present. I'd expect this to be effective in must, if not all, cases. best Zoran
