OK.... I just happen to have a system on which I've not run xfce. When I clicked on the browser icon on the panel it informed me my default browser wasn't configured. So, I chose /usr/bin/google-chrome. The action of doing that modified several files.... ~/.config/xfce4/helpers.rc was created and contains the line WebBrowser=custom-WebBrowser Then ~/.local/share/xfce4/helpers/custom-WebBrowser.desktop was created and it contains [egreshko@f18x helpers]$ cat custom-WebBrowser.desktop [Desktop Entry] NoDisplay=true Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Type=X-XFCE-Helper X-XFCE-Category=WebBrowser X-XFCE-CommandsWithParameter=/usr/bin/google-chrome "%s" Icon=google-chrome Name=google-chrome X-XFCE-Commands=/usr/bin/google-chrome There is also a google-chrome.desktop in that same directory but it was created back in January and I think created when I installed chrome on that system. -- From now on, at least during winter time, Im going to blame all spelling an grammar erros on the cat sitting on my chest every time I sit down at the computer.... -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
