Greetings - I am trying to add a custom URI Scheme, "idoc:<label>" for internal use on our Fedora/Firefox/GNOME based computers. I have added a url-handler definition to GNOME using "gconftool-2" with a command calling gnome-helper. Based on my research, I recognize proprietary URI schemes are a "bad thing", but it solves my requirements for an internal feature. What happens is gnome-helper doesn't seem to recognize that "idoc:" is a URI scheme, so it keeps calling something in the GNOME API to resolve it, which in turn calls gnome-helper. I get a very quick burst of gnome-helper windows before killing the X session. So I wrapped the call to gnome-helper inside a script which removes the "idoc:" scheme before passing the <label> to gnome-helper. This works fine. However, in researching the problem I see that "doc:", "info:", "ghelp:", etc. are recognized schemes and handled as such by gnome-helper. GNOME is a really nice environment, so it bothers me when I have to circumvent it. How do I set up GNOME to recognize a proprietary scheme? I searched through the GNOME archives and found a number of tangential references to this - some getting pretty wacky - but no recipe.
