Sensible browser detects if there is an X session running, and if this
is the case, run x-www-browser if it exists, www-browser in a terminal
otherwise. If there is no X session, it runs www-browser.

I'd say that you don't have any x-www-browser (because links isn't in
its alternatives) and you are in the case where Xsession is running, and
no x-www-browser is detected. So it's sensible-browser which runs it
correctly.

Can you confirm this?

No there is not. But the bug isn't there, well, if you look
at /usr/bin/sensible-editor you'll see that it doesn't detect if X's
running or not. It checks if $EDITOR is set, and if not there is some
fallbacks, all console one.

So I'd say it's not a good idea to have it in default panel (strange
noone else reported problem). I'll investigate a bit more and keep you
informed.

Thanks, and regards,
