Gnome configuration
I am trying to make a configuration change in Gnome, but I'm not
sure where I should look to make the change.
My problem is that I use gnome-terminal to run an instance of
mutt to read my email. I like gnome-terminal for this because
email hot links to web pages are highlighted and underlined *and*
if I cntrl-click on the hot-link, it starts a web browser and
opens the URL. But, it used to be that the browser was selectable
via alternatives. Now it seems not to be. I'm pretty sure that
this is not a function of mutt. It doesn't seem to exist if I
run mutt in a different terminal emulation window. I have hacked
a change that works: I replaced /usr/bin/epiphany with a soft-link
of the same name that points to opera. But this is really a bad
way to do what I want. I've looked at gconf, but none of the
editing software seems to work and I can't find any mention of
epiphany in the xml files that seem to hold gnome configuration.
Maybe I just missed it.
Where does gnome-terminal get the datum that it should start
epiphany? What is the correct way to change that to opera?
TIA
