Here's what I usually do: XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE \ xdg-settings set default-web-browser google-chrome.desktop XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME \ xdg-settings set default-web-browser google-chrome.desktop since xdg-settings generally only tweaks things for the current-running DE, I run it for each (KDE/GNOME), which handles most cases and applications. -- rex -- 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?
