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)
