Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.4.2-7
Severity: normal
When a string like <http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=16465> appears
in gnome-terminal it is automatically made active exactly as if it
were a web link in a browser. Right-clicking on that string (when
mouse goes over it, that link gets underlined) would open a context
menu with the item "OpenLink". Selecting that menu item would fire up
the web browser with that string as a parameter and thus display that
linked page automagically.
This feature no longer works, with this error message in a dialog box:
Could not open the address
"http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=16465": There was an error
launching the default action command associated with this
location.Could not open the address
"http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=16465": There was an error
launching the default action command associated with this location.
However, when I do copy that same string with the "Copy Link Address"
item of the contextual menu (see above) and later paste that copied
link into mozilla-firefox, then the right linked page shows up.
So the problem appears to be in the way a correct link is processed
internally by gnome-terminal.
This mis-behaviour is a real nuisance for those mutt users who use
gnome-terminal as their mail-reading terminal.
Where should the browser be configured in gnome-terminal, so that it
might be verified this is not the problem ?
Thanks for your attention,
Filippo Rusconi
