Testing thread about nothing (I'm trying to diagnose an LQ-related Firefox issue)

is my command for google-chrome and for chromium.

chromium --enable-plugins --user-agent="Slackware/current Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/6.0.408.1 Safari/533.1"

Posting from the now-dead OpenSolaris...shame, it's the one UNIX-like I have in VBox that's not a Linux or a BSD. Too bad its continued development was killed by Oracle.

Forgot to change my profile, I'm using Xfce now. I still tend to change desktops often.

Anyway, I use the desktop menu, which I believe is made using the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications. I also use an application that I wrote that lists those same applications and lets you quickly search and launch them.

Shouldn't there be a config file for Chromium or something?

Should be, but to the best of my knowledge and google skills there isn't. It's things like this that make XFCE a bad full time option for me. There just doesn't ever seem to be an intuitive way to change simple settings like default file managers, menu shortcuts, etc. I do like XFCE for XDMCP sessions though, although I generally use fluxbox anymore.

testing

For whatever reason xfce seems to be picking up the launcher settings for gnome or kde one, because google-chrome is using it's useragent. The only way I've figured to do it straight through XFCE is to create a destop launcher by right clicking on the desktop. It allows you to specify the command you want to use.

I just want to see if it shows Mepis 8.5,I have put that into about:config

How about Slackware then... !

I would assume that there is no icon for Mepis !

Open Source projects might die but can't be killed.
