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.
