Comment 1 Daniel Resare 2002-10-23 16:57:39 EDT

since evolution is a gnome 1 application it doesn't recognize the default
browser setting in gnome 2. The workaround is to edit your $HOME/.gnome/Gnome
file and replace 'default-show=gnome-moz-remote --newwin "%s"' with for example '
default-show=galeon "%s"'

Havoc -- I really think we need this capplet to change the GNOME 1 default as
well similar to how we change the gtk+ 1.2 theme to match the gtk2 theme
