Subject: enabling org-protocol with Firefox 3 and Ubuntu 9.04

Hi everybody,

if you have tried to enable org-protocol under Firefox you might run
into the issue that firefox does not start emacsclient, no matter what
the about:config variables say.

After spending some time I discovered that this is an issue of Firefox's
integration with Gnome. What you need is to tell Gnome that you have a
new URI protocol called org-protocol, and that emacsclient is
responsible for it. This is done with the following two commands (be
careful to indicate the correct full path of emacsclient):

gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/org-protocol/command -t string '/usr/bin/emacsclient %s'
gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/org-protocol/enabled -t boolean true

--dmg
