Very frustrating. When I had similar problems clicking on URL's in evolution and firefox doing zip, I finally found something like a 'gnome control center' sub-application that I had to toggle to allow the click to spawn firegox. I've been wedged in trying to keep my ports current here-- which is common--so I'm missing lots of things-Gnome as well as evolution, epiphany (or "dbus"). I'll check on my Ubuntu server and see if I make any notes on this. gary > > Rem > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
