It's in /etc, and the url-handler directory is buried way down. But editing both http and https worked. It was *not* pointing at firefox, but somewhere godknows [or doesn't!]. Nutshell, the mouse-click on URL brings up the broswer. I used find / here and discovered a ~/.gconf/desktop/.....url-hanflers. I had used the gconf-editor but it had put in /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/firefox " %s " rather than the ...firefox-bin "%s" in the surrounding XML. I edited it to firefox-bin "%s". No joy. My find / discovered system-wide gnome directories in /usr/X11R6/, and that's where I'll poke around next. It's been educational and I'm beginning to appreciate the logic of how things-Gome fit together. gary > - -- > Joe Marcus Clarke > FreeBSD GNOME Team :: gnome@FreeBSD.org > FreeNode / #freebsd-gnome > http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iD8DBQFE43Pfb2iPiv4Uz4cRAvF/AKClGSAIDcb1Ku+NC4na44p2ftzCuACeNgHU > MFwoSpzr4Y1QglEx/OeT7gg= > =sqqw > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
