        import gnome
        gnome.url_show("file:" + NETCONFDIR + \
                       "/help/index.html")    

hmm... maybe you have not installed mozilla... nevertheless, htmlview should be
used. Lets hear, what our gnome team has to say about that?
Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2003-05-31 03:35:28 UTC 
I thought I made it use htmlview, but maybe I'm thinking of gnome-libs 1.x instead 
of libgnome.
Comment 4 Máirín Duffy 2005-06-26 21:34:49 UTC 
Works now... closing
