Thanks to Eric, Jochem, and Vivek! I am not at all familiar with Gnome
or even desktop stuff. I did find the thing under (apparently)
Nautilus. It was rather obscurely located on my Libranet 2.8.1
desktop. I wonder in what files those control parameters are stored.
My terminal oriented mind wants to know. I wonder where I should have
found my own answer?
Anyway, my remotely running mutt now can supply URLs to my local
Firefox. For someone used to highlighting and pasting, it is a real
thrill.
No answer on the KDE/Konqueror question. Maybe Gnome is ahead of KDE
in this area?
