Re: [Evolution] Can't run Gnome Control Centre

["Wise, Jeremey" <jeremey wise agilysys com>]

I actually tried these instructions based on the previous thread but URL
clicking does not open a Mozilla session. Here is the output I have for
gnome-default-applications-properties 

Custom Web Browser =>mozilla %s

or 

linux:/ # gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown
 command = mozilla %s
 need-terminal = true
 enabled = true
linux:/ #

I did the usual of starting Evolution in a terminal and got no output.
Any direction to troubleshoot would be appreciated.

Thanks,
