Title:
Chromium unsets preferred webbrowser
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I'm running XUbuntu 11.10 (actually Ubuntu 11.10 with the xubuntu
packages installed on top).
When I select Chromium to be my preferred web browser from
settings->setting manager->preferred application, Chromium will be
launched when I select Web Browser from the main pull-down menu.
However, when Chromium starts, it produces a message stating "Chromium
is not your default browser" (or words of that nature). When I select
"yes", and then reopen preferred applications, Chromium is no longer
selected as the default web browser.
It would seem that Chromium doesn't understand how to interpret the
default settings in xfce4 - or muddles them up when it tries to make
itself the default browser.
The work-around is easy - tell Chromium not to ask anymore, and don't
allow it to set itself as the default browser (use preferred
applications instead to select the preferred browser).
