If you examine /usr/bin/sensible-browser, which is not very long, you see 2 things that it looks for: 1) the environment variable called BROWSER 2) the Debian 'alternative' www-browser and x-www-browser It check $BROWSER first and if that does not exist, it checks, if in X, x-www-browser. This is set by a few means. One way is to make a manual symlink. On my system: $ ls -l /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2007-04-09 23:04 /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser -> /usr/bin/firefox So, 'ln -s /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser /usr/bin/seamonkey' might do it. I say might because, IIRC, gnome and kde sometimes overide this in ways that i have not investiaged.(if someone out in -user land knows the rest of the story, do tell). -K -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal |mysite.verizon.net/kevin.mark/| | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net | my NPO: cfsg.org | |join the new debian-community.org to help Debian! | |_______ Unless I ask to be CCd, assume I am subscribed _______|
