Description of Problem: html view is handy, but doesn't take advantage of the various browsers' ability to open the new URL in a new window, and so typically splats the contents of an existing window. Since this is easy to do in Netscape, Mozilla, Opera &c., it'd be nice to see it implemented. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a URL using htmlview, and configured browser e.g. opera Actual Results: It reuses an already open window. Expected Results: It should open a new one. Even better, it should be configurable. Additional Information: There's one other slight oddity: if exists $i; then exec $i $* fi vs exists $i && exec $i $* a few lines lower. Better to be consistent?

htmlview now seems to be able to use gnome's configured browser (cool). Not so cool is that it checks to see if the browser exists, and if it doesn't, invokes an error. I happen to have the following defined as my browser in gnome: galeon --new-tab --noraise %s htmlview has decided that there is no application on my system named "galeon --new-tab --noraise " and every time I run it, it brings up the gnome-default-applications-properties program and asks me to reconfigure (which it doesn't need to because every other app seems to handle this just fine, as it should)
