Those firefox warnings do not show up when the program works
correctly. I suppose that it tries to use the gnome way of setting the
default application and it doesn't work... When everything works it
doesn't even try to do it.
Good luck and tell me if you need any more information.

I need the following information from everyone experiencing this:

My theory is that you're not properly starting a DBUS session, and this is confusing GNOME.
It would also be useful to know which distribution you're running. _______________________________________________ xmonad mailing list xmonad@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/xmonad
