Would you..." No, the browser shouldn't check if it's default. It just does it's job. It depends on gnome/system what browser it starts or with what it opens the links when user clicks on shortcuts. As said, preferred browser can be set in Preferred Applications. /etc/alternatives doesn't make sense for this. -- Marius Andreiana Galuna - Solutii Linux in Romania http://www.galuna.ro
