- First cut of Bluecurve Icons
- Use gnome-open for helper application (launching URLs and mailto:)
(#121291)
- Use CVS snapshot of ooo-build (2004-04-21, 1.1.53pre)
This changelog says that it should have been fixed, but I am unable to
find any signs in the SRPM to confirm that it has been fixed. Can you
please check on this again?

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040418 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: If you click on links within OOo, it fails because openoffice.org lacks defined default external program launchers. Please add the following changes to FC2's openoffice.org: 1) REQUIRED - The patch below for /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcu would easily add workable default settings that launch the Preferred Applications defined in gconf schema. 2) REQUIRED In order to guarantee that gnome-open exists, openoffice.org should Requires libgnome which contains /usr/bin/gnome-open. 3) OPTIONAL In order to guarantee that the user can modify the Preferred Applications settings, control-center package must be installed in order to have the "Preferred Application" chooser in the Preferences menu. --- Common.xcu.orig 2004-04-19 18:12:56.736013051 -1000 +++ Common.xcu 2004-04-19 18:16:00.968277007 -1000 @@ -17,19 +17,19 @@ </node> <node oor:name="ExternalApps"> <prop oor:name="http" oor:op="replace" oor:type="xs:string"> - <value/> + <value>gnome-open</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="https" oor:op="replace" oor:type="xs:string"> - <value/> + <value>gnome-open</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="ftp" oor:op="replace" oor:type="xs:string"> - <value/> + <value>gnome-open</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="file" oor:op="replace" oor:type="xs:string"> <value/> </prop> <prop oor:name="mailto" oor:op="replace" oor:type="xs:string"> - <value/> + <value>gnome-open</value> </prop> </node> <node oor:name="ExternalMailer"> Wont this cause problems for KDE Only Installs? =============================================== No. openoffice.org already requires gnome-vfs2 which is one of the core GNOME components, so KDE users cannot avoid GNOME entirely if they wish to use openoffice.org. gnome-vfs2 contains the schema for default application launching, which for http/https protocols in FC2 are set to mozilla. Due to reasons of lack of time and the fact that KDE supplies no cross-desktop equivalent, using this gconf schema is a working solution that we have today for working Preferred Applications. KDE users in FC2 must have a certain small number of core GNOME applications installed in order to use the Preferred Appplication choosing functionality. If they so wish, they may choose Konqueror and KMail from the Preferred Applications menu and these will be properly integrated into openoffice via gnome-open and gconf schema. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-1.1.1-2 I highly encourage this to go into FC2 if you are doing any future builds for that distribution target.
