4) xchat and (soon) gaim already honors the gnome-open Preferred
Application choice, but there are undoubtedly other applications that
could be trivially patched to launch gnome-open for URL handling. Please
let us know if you find such applications. If you submit an exact patch
to insert into the SRPM, there is still a chance that it can be included
before the freeze. Well, I hope so at least.
One more related note:
5) While I personally think the "Web Browser" and "Mail" launching
icons
should launch the chosen Preferred Applications rather than the
hard-coded mozilla or evolution, there are technical barriers currently
preventing this. Launching the preferred application must be tested to
be far more reliable than it has been in the past. Also this presents
challenges with application startup feedback. It would be really great
if we can think of ways to solve these problems.
