I bet you only entered the domainname, without the http:// part.

The launchers are not fully featured browsers, and are not meant to be.
They are only here to do some testing, so I'm not conviced this grants a

BTW, if you enter URLs without the http:// part, you'll have problems
in GdkLauncher with (at least) relatively linked images.
