The launcher, and the .desktop file under ~/.config contain the following line:
c=exo-open --launch WebBrowser %u To be sure, I can change "WebBrowser" to chromium-browser, but how does xfce4 / xfwm4 determine what "WebBrowser" means? There is no /usr/bin/webbrowser. There are links /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser and /etc/alternatives/gnome-www-browser; however those would affect the whole system, and really an application should not be looking in /etc/alternatives. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794720 Title: xubuntu desktop fails to respect "preferred applications" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/794720/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
