!! Changing the [GNOME] default WebBrowser |

To change the browser that fires up when you click on links in various [GNOME] applications, just change the default browser in the [GNOME] control center (you can bring up the panel in question directly by running __<tt>gnome-default-applications-properties</tt>__). Enter something like __<tt>opera "%s"</tt>__ or __<tt>mozilla "%s"</tt>__ in the Custom Web Browser box. |

!! Changing the GNOME2 WindowManager |
| |
|

GNOME 1.4 has a capplet for changing window manager. In GNOME 2.x, you can change it |
| |
|

|
| |
|

* Per user: =$ gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default -t string /usr/bin/sawfish= |
| |
|
10 |
* System wide: edit /usr/share/gnome/default.wm (maybe) |
| |
|
11 |
|
| |
|
12 |
If the above fails because you have a previously saved session with metacity, then loading the Gnome Session manager, deleting 'Default' and then adding a new 'Default' seems to allow sawfish to start. |

According to [Twisted Radix|http://radix.twistedmatrix.com/2005/10/setting-your-gnome-window-manager-in_28.html], this doesn't work on GNOME 2.12+. |

;:Edit or create ~/.gnomerc and add "export WINDOW_MANAGER=sawfish" (or whatever) to it. |

;:Apparently Gnome 2.12 (and hence Ubuntu Breezy) decided to stop supporting the /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager entry in gconf. The key says "This key has been deprecated since GNOME 2.12", but what they mean is "broken", not "deprecated" (from what I can tell). |

!! Filenames with + signs are not completely selected on Double Click when using gnome-terminal(1) |
| |
|
24 |
|
| |
|
25 |
Using the default gnome-terminal(1) settings when double clicking on a filename containing a + character, only the portion of the filename up to the + is selected. This can get incredibly annoying! |
| |
|
26 |
|
| |
|
27 |
Fortunately there is a very simple fix, right click on your terminal, choose 'Edit Current Profile', Add + to the end of the "Select-by-word-characters' text box, Close. |
