My point is that the OP is asking why, when they click a link from
within a GUI app that is running as root (synaptic), the wrong
browser is launched. So what I am asking is, once the correct
browser is set up via alternatives, isn't it going to launch
seamonkey as root?
Further implication being, it is good to learn about the
alternatives system, but maybe not a great idea to solve this
problem this way.
Cheers,
Andy
