I looked | at the FreeBSD-gnome web page lookibng for any info on file mapping, | didn't find anything, so I am asking here. I want to add a bunch of | browsers to the gnome file menus; can anyone point me towards a port that | installs this file, or perhaps the gnome file mapping for the FreeBSD | port (this is much better!) This file isn't installed by any FreeBSD port. Mozilla will install a /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/applications/mozilla.desktop if you configure it with the right option. Of course, per my previous emails, all of the browsers in FreeBSD can automatically install menu entries under Applications->Internet.
