mark@debian:~$ update-alternatives --list x-www-browser
bash: update-alternatives: command not found
mark@debian:~$ su
Password: 
debian:/home/mark# update-alternatives --list x-www-browser
/usr/bin/iceweasel
debian:/home/mark# update-alternatives --config x-www-browser

There is only 1 program which provides x-www-browser
(/usr/bin/iceweasel). Nothing to configure.
debian:/home/mark# 

So, given that OpenOffice.org is still using lynx when I choose the
"more dictionaries online" option, what do I do now?
