Don't be sorry, as you checked the archives. Very nice, indeed. And
thanks for increasing my karma by noting me. :-)

I too use Mandrake 9.1 and it works for me. Do you have checked the
settings for typos? What does 'which galeon' return?

Typo, eh? ;-)  That sure has to be /home/... w/o the ~.

Be sure to set http-show and https-show too, if in that file. Or just
delete those lines.

AFAIK Evo 1.2.x don't respect GConf settings, does it?

Uh, that _has_ to work. Although it is very rude...


If you have a ~/.gnome/gnome-moz-remote file, check it, rename it or
plain delete it. You can change settings there too, although I never saw
that file on a Mandrake system.

HTH


btw: Mandrake released a security update to Evolution 1.2.4. You can
easily get it with 'MandrakeUpdate' from your preferred mirror.
