htmlview-3.0.0-15.fc7 With rawhide from Friday 23rd Feb 2007. zenity isn't installed by default, so I got this message when trying to start the web browser, with Epiphany configured. zenity should be required by htmlview, or at least be added to the comps.

Getting the same error under KDE. $ htmlview ERROR: The browser does not exist. Please reconfigure. Then a dialog box: "Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash.

I'm getting the same error in gvim, evolution, firefox, etc: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=235782
htmlview looks like it was designed to not require zenity or gconf, but only use them if they are available. Not sure if it is worth pulling zenity in the default install. You can only ever get that error message if you uninstall a previously selected browser, right ?
imo, htmlview is/should-be pretty much deprecated by xdg-open

Yes, but it definitely looks untidy to use xmessage. Zenity itself uses a full 87kB on-disk, all the docs and extra pixmaps make it use ~2.2 megs in total.
Any progress here? ATM a installation from kde livecd will also show this message.
Would rather this get done in comps. I don't think adding the zenity requirement is the right thing to do since it really is not required.
> imo, htmlview is/should-be pretty much deprecated by xdg-open This is untrue. xdg-open does not handle launching of the preferred application without parameters. gnome-open has the same failing too.
I'm at a loss as to what needs to happen here.
ping? We're out of runway for Fedora 7...
I'd say you should just pull in zenity on the default install. As for the error messages from bonobo-activation under KDE, I don't see how they're related to the original bug report, and should have their own bug.
I made Zenity the default for KDE and GNOME desktop groups.
