Package: evolution
Version: 2.30.1.2-3
Severity: normal
Evolution is ignoring my preference for default web browser when I
click on links.
default-applications-properties is set to iceweasel,
x-www-browser is set to iceweasel
$BROWSER is set to iceweasel
and yet Evolution chooses chromium-browser instead.
This is in consonance with the contents of /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache and
Evolution runs runs through the applications there in order
text/html=bluefish.desktop;chromium-browser.desktop;kde4-kfmclient_html.desktop;abiword.desktop;iceweasel.desktop;kompozer.desktop;arora.desktop;elinks.desktop;
[bloom at cat-in-the-hat evolution]$ strace -f evolution 2>&1 | grep /usr/share/applications/
[pid 7465] stat("/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache", <unfinished ...>
[pid 7465] open("/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache", O_RDONLY) = 44
[pid 7465] stat("/usr/share/applications/defaults.list", <unfinished ...>
[pid 7465] stat("/usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list", <unfinished ...>
[pid 7465] open("/usr/share/applications/bluefish.desktop", O_RDONLY <unfinished ...>
[pid 7465] open("/usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop", O_RDONLY <unfinished ...>
if I uninstall chromium, it opens the link in konqueror, by calling
kfmclient.
