As of 15.10, I've noticed that support for at least browser (SeaMonkey)
seems to be respected in all applications besides 1) alternative
browsers and 2) Thunderbird, which chooses Firefox no matter what, even
if you make a change. As a result, I just quit using Thunderbird. I'm
not sure if changes

Ok this made the trick for me. Usually, when you install any new browser these
values are overriden, and you have to set them again.
Maybe it would be a good idea if these values were automatically updated when
you change your default browser using "settings > preferred applications".

In my case the defauly browser is recognized if i open a thunderbird
hiperlink, but ignored if i open a webpage from an application.
Examples:
LibreOffice > help

longer works in Saucy (13.10) Xubuntu - maybe other distros too. Every
time I click on a link in Thunderbird, it triggers the "Choose Preferred

This affects chrome as well and is indeed a bug in it. It is caused by
chrome not recognising what binary it came from.

1. Google Chrome says me that it doesn't set as default browser. I press "Set

Installing "galternatives" from Software Center is an easy way to fix
this, but new users would not figure that out. A feature to change
default browser should be installed by default. Especially when it
doesn't work with preinstalled applications like Software Center.

Ok my problem is solved. GNUStep terminal links Terminal in /usr/bin with its
own Terminal Emulator. I changed that link to xfce4-terminal and it works
again. I guess there is naming conflict with these two packages, as disucessed
here:

Also the workaround does not work in that case.
I can change the line in ~/.config/xfce4/helpers.rc to
TerminalEmulator=xfce4-terminal
However, clicking on the terminal launcher pops a dialog saying "No application
selected" with a list of possible terminals.
The xfce4 terminal is listed but the
This bug also affects the defined TerminalEmulator.
I have installed the GNUstep development environment and now my standard
Terminal has changed to that.
It is not possible to change that with exo-preferred-applications.
