Registering secondlife: Protocol under Gnome

Hello,

does anyone have a clue how I convince gnome that the "secondlife:" protocol (i.e. internet links to landmarks inworld) are handled by second life? I found out something about registering mime types but didn't find protocols yet.

Thanks

Well, at least something to start with. So very simple, I should just have read the Gnome admin documentation from start... but then oen could read themselves umb if they ever tried to run every docu that comes into question from start.

This is how you do it:
If you, as did I, isntalled SL into one user's userspace (since it is alpha software) you should make the setting specific for that user too. To do that create a file ${HOME}/.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/secondlife/%gconf.xml
You can simply copy the .xml file over from the neighbouring directory and simply replace the program name. For example. if you copy over from the "http" neighbour directory you may have to replace the name of your webbrowser with "secondlife" (assuming the secondlife script lies in your $PATH).
