Description of problem: htmlview only checks if firefox exists. Is this is not the case an error would be shown: "ERROR: The browser firefox does not exist. Please reconfigure." If /usr/bin/gnome-default-applications-properties doesn't exist that would be all. On KDE LiveCD we don't have gnome-default-applications-properties. So after a installation to hard disk the user would not know how to reconfigure this. The best way here would be to fallback to konqueror in a KDE session. Or read "BrowserApplication" from ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install KDE LiveCD or remove firefox and gnome-default-applications-properties 2. Login into KDE 3. Launch htmlview Actual results: Error Message Expected results: konqueror would be startet Additional info: I've misread #230023. So I've opened a single bug for this.
http://people.redhat.com/wtogami/temp/htmlview-4.0.0-2.fc7.noarch.rpm Please see if this makes it behave as expected in the LiveCD.
Konqueror would be startet now, but only in filebrowser mode. In /usr/share/applications/kde/konqbrowser.desktop it says "kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing". Maybe this one is better (and I've should have written that in my first post).
http://people.redhat.com/wtogami/temp/htmlview-4.0.0-3.fc7.noarch.rpm Please test this in two ways: 1) With GNOME installed, use Preferred Applications chooser and pick Konqueror, then run htmlview with no parameters. 2) Same thing a #1, but run htmlview with a URL parameter. Something like htmlview http://google.com 3) Run htmlview in a KDE-only environment, like KDE Live CD.
to 1) konqueror would be started with /usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html to 2) konqueror is loading the given url On LiveCD: 1) some as above 2) same as above So it seems to work properly.
