Ximian] spend
a lot of time making
[GNOME
] look pretty, by working on good themes
, and also cleaning up applications to make them workable and useful. If an application doesn't exist that they think should, they write it: for example the
[Evolution] mail client and
the RedCarpet channel-based package distribution system
.
+Ximian Desktop 2 was released in June 2003, and it added lots of 2.4-esque features to GNOME 2.2. With the release in 2004 of GNOME 2.6, Ximian Desktop is currently a footnote in the [Novell] tale -- [Novell] and [SUSE
] are basing
a lot of their "managed Linux solution" on
[Ximian

the new Novell ~GroupWise client for Linux

-!!Changing the default web-browser for Ximian Evolution.
-
-I wanted to change the default browser that fires up when I click on links in Evolution. If you'd like to do the same all you have to do is type the following command
:
-
- $ gnome-default-applications-properties
-
-And enter mozilla "%s" in the Custom Web Browser box. (or whatever you want your browser to be). To make the link open in a new mozilla tab, try ''mozilla -remote 'openURL(%s,new-tab)' ''
-
-Additionally, if you find you aren't able to run Galeon after upgrading to XD2, and instead, you get this error:
-
- INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: No manager for initializing factory?
- System error?:: Success
-
-I fixed this issue by removing the /usr/lib/mozilla and /usr/lib/mozilla-1.2.1/ directories, leaving only /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3.1/. I guessed that the problem was caused by the Flash plugin, but from what I read: " the problem is in the Java plugin by Sun. You need to remove it and install the blackdown java plugin" instead.
