Corresponding to bug #67825, Mozilla should be set up as the default handler for web pages. (I may have filed this bug already, if so sorry, I'll probably catch the dup in a bit. ;-)
i think, it's correct that konqueror should be default handler for http:// and html under KDE enviroment.
No, the major apps do not vary by desktop. The email client is Evolution, the web browser is Mozilla, and the office suite is OpenOffice, in all environments. These should also be the apps on the panel as discussed.
Using htmlview is preferrable (after modifying htmlview to default to mozilla on all desktops) - it allows users to set a different default, and it'll still work if someone does rpm -e mozilla.
htmlview is fine, yes, if modified as you say.
OK, fixed htmlview to start mozilla by default on all desktops. Read ya, Phil
