Does anyone know which update broke url handling in Gnome some time recently, I'd assume in between last one-to-three weeks? I realized the symptoms too late to narrow it down to a specific port now, and I have no idea what handles url requests - gnome-vfs, maybe, or some friends above/below? Basically, opening an URL now from any gnome/gtk application is completely fubared, clicking a web page link in something like gnome-terminal, pidgin, etc. launches a new epiphany window instead of reusing the old one and opening a new tab (thus completely ignoring 'preferences > preferred applications' control panel), clicking a link from evolution even silently fails half the time, or some times launches a new browser instance about ten minutes later, clicking any http image link first internally checks the mime type (or it seems so) on the server and then launches the url in eog (merciful god, why), and so on. It's really impossible to work with URLs in Gnome at this moment, other than manually copy/pasting them into a running browser every single time. Some ideas on what went wrong? m. -- Michal Varga, Stonehenge (Gmail account)
