Except that recently it's started opening Gedit, the gnome text editor, instead. I have triple super checked to be absolutely sure that the preferred web browser application is my browser (chrome). Since I never use gedit, I have stuck in a kludge, replacing gedit with a one line shell script that runs chrome instead, but that's silly. Any suggestions where gnomo-open is getting the idea to run gedit rather than a browser? R's, John
