[Bug 52670] Re: Kubuntu setting default components don't affect gnome/gtk apps

[manu]

I don't think this is a problem in package mozilla-thunderbird. 
It might be better to assign it to kde-guidance, kcontrol or even the package that contains update-alternatives (I don't know which one it is).


** Summary changed:

- Thunderbird (and other Gnome apps) use konqueror as web browser
+ Kubuntu setting default components don't affect gnome/gtk apps

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: kubuntu-desktop
  
- I´ve installed firefox and set it up as my default web browser in the system settings. But when I click on a link in thunderbird konqueror is still opened.
- Since thunderbird uses firefox e.g. in SuSE I think this is a configuration bug. Thunderbird should use the web browser set as default in "kde components" if possible.

  UPDATE:
  This affects all Gnome applications, such as Open Office, as well. To overcome this, sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser needs to be run. The same effect should be achieved from within the GUI.
