I run KDE but use a number of Gnome applications including Evolution. I'm currently using Opera as my default web browser, but can't get Evolution to recognise this. Running gnome-control-center offers me a list of possible browsers but Opera is not one of them and I don't see where I can add it as an option.
I cannot make head or tail of gsettings (nothing under the evolution- related schemas says anything about browsers), so I try xdg-settings:
$ xdg-settings get default-web-browser opera.desktop
Looks fine, right? But clicking on a link in Evolution opens Firefox. So my question is, if xdg-settings is meant to be the solution to DE incompatibility issues, why does this not work?
No, that is not enough....
What do you have for....
xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler http xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler https
They also show firefox.desktop, however if I try to change it:
$ xdg-settings set default-url-scheme-handler http opera.desktop $ xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler http firefox.desktop
IOW I can't change it. (And yes, the opera.desktop file exists.)
