this seems like a stupid question, but how do I control what programs
org uses when it launches an exported file in an external viewer? I
keep getting galeon for html, okular for pdf, which on my system are two
buggy programs I otherwise never use. They don't get launched by, say,
nautilus or firefox, so I figure the setting must be somewhere in emacs
or org, but i can't figure out where. Thanks much!
Matt

Time for a FAQ?
Who is going to write it?

this FAQ can be places under the "Errors and general problems" section
*** How can I control the program launched by Org-mode to open a certain file pdf, html....
This is more a Operating System question than a Org-mode question, however:
In GNU/Linux (OS x ?? Carsten???? ) systems you have to
check your mailcap settings, search the files:
: /etc/mailcap
:
: or
:
: $HOME/.mailcap
and modify them accordingly. Please read their manual entry.
For Windows systems
+ for html pages you may configure the =browse-url-= variables through the Customize interface,
+ the pdf files are automatically opened with Acrobat Reader (if it is installed)
