When I click on a mailto link in Mozilla, nothign happens. When I click on a link in an email in Ximian, nothing happens. When I click Copy Link Location in Ximian and try to post it in the address bar of Mozilla, it doesn't work. How do I get Mozilla and Ximian to work together better? EDIT: BTW, i mean Ximian Evolution, the mail client thing. I guess Ximian was sort of like saying Windows or Cocoa or something. [edited by - BradDaBug on January 9, 2003 4:36:22 PM]

I tried changing the BROWSER export thingy to /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla (it previously was blank) but that didn''t do anything.

Doesn''t ANYONE have any ideas?

No, because it should just work. I can copy and paste back and forth between Mozilla and Evolution just fine (with Debian provided packages for both programs). I didn''t want to post something so unhelpful previously though .

Hmm. I''m using Mozilla 1.2 that I downloaded from mozilla.org; its not Mandrake''s packaging. Evolution is, though.

Another thing is I can''t get Galeon to work again! I downloaded Mozilla 1.2, knowing Galeon wouldn''t work with it. Then the Galeon folks released a new version of Galeon that would supposedly work with Mozilla 1.2. It didn''t. It crashes pretty much whenever I look at a page.

AFAICT, the various toolkits underlying the pieces of software you''re using (Mozilla, Ximian) haven''t all implemented the Free Desktop guidelines, which causes interop problems between apps from "competing" toolkits and leaves it up to the distro packagers to smooth out such issues. My recommendation: until you''re skilled/interested/bothered enough to resolve such issues structurally, stick to distro packages.

You could be right, but I doubted that because they''re both GTK+ 1.2 applications (the GTK+ 2.x port of Mozilla isn''t really distributed yet, and Evolution''s GTK+ 2.x port is still CVS-only). GTK+ 1.2 follows the guidelines properly as far as I know. But, even if GTK+ 1.2 didn''t implement them properly, they should still work since they''re both using the same toolkit.
