What is this "GNOME" and why should Aunt Mildred care? Like an awful lot of
people, she uses KDE. Why are you building a gnome-only browser? Why would any
sane coder write window-manager specific dependencies into a browser? (and
supposedly a cross platform browser?).

If you want to take the easy way out and not provide mail client config options,
why not do somoething slightly sane and look for an environment variable, like
all other unix programs, rather than a likely non-existent gnome setting?

NB firefox is still unusable, as the inability to handle a simple "mailto" link
is a pretty fundamental flaw.
