Opening hyperlink in Evolution doesn't work
 

Hi,

I'm using Gentoo 2.6-11-r6 with KDE3.4 on which I run Evolution to do my email.
Now when I receive an email which contains a hyperlink I can't click it to connect through. By default I'm using Firefox as browser. My file associations with html are first whith Firefox than with Konquerer.

Within Evolution when I point the mouse on the hyperlink it says "Click to open ...." but it doesn't do anything. Even if I use the right mouse buton and select "Open link in Browser" it doesn't work.

Any ideas how to solve this stupid but nasty problem?

Try setting the default Gnome (I realize you're running KDE) http and https handlers to /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/firefox "%s". IIRC this is the gconf key Evolution will use.

You can use gconf-editor to set it with an easy GUI - the keys are located at /desktop/gnome/url-handlers.

Ehu.... So there is no solution on KDE?
And everybody has an issue opening an hyperlink via Evolution, I am sorry but can't believe this?

hey it works!

im using xfce and ran gconf-editor which i believe is a gui for gconf?
anyway.. i went to /desktop/gnome/url-handlers and changed the values there to point to my firefox installation and it worked!

thanks hw-tph!
