See update-alternatives(8) Cheers -Ralf.
pretzalz@Pretzalz:~$ /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display www-browser www-browser - status is auto. link currently points to /usr/bin/lynx /usr/bin/lynx - priority 50 slave www-browser.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/lynx.1.gz Current `best' version is /usr/bin/lynx.Considering I have both mozilla and konqueror installed, I think that www-browser always points to lynx[or at least a console browser]
