I saw this same topic posted a month or so ago, but never saw a resolution. The problem being that klipper suddenly stopped working. Specifically the %s variable is not being resolved to URL, but appears as a literal %s in whichever browser is selected. This had been working and there were no upgrades or updates installed prior to it stopping working. As the orginal poster said in his message, I've tried the various combinations of using quotation marks and the escape character with the %s, but no matter what, the URL is simply %s. This is true with any of the browsers in the default list, Konqueror, Netscape, Mozilla, Opera, and Lynx. The only difference being the actual error message the individual browser returns.... 'Malformed URL' in Konq, 'file:\\%s not found' in Netscape, etc. Any ideas what might have changed to cause this or how it can be fixed?
