WindowMaker, for example, has its menus in a file under ~/GNUstep. Find the equivalent for your wm and view it to see where the launcher is pointing to, then use "which" and "ls -l" to find what the launcher is linked to (they're usually just symbolic links). You can then remove the link and create your own ("ln -s TARGET LINKNAME").

In the end everything was set in /etc/alternatives. I'm not even sure how I figured this out, I was just suddenly in that directory poking around while I was supposed to be doing other things. The x-www-browser was pointing to konqueror. I had to set a new "alternative" with: # update-alternatives --install /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser \ x-www-browser /usr/bin/mozilla-firebird 1000 The syntax is as follows: --install (instead of --remove) /path/to/alternative name-of-alternative /path/to/application/to/use "importance" -- I started at 10, 100 and finally 1000 was the number I needed to use to override konqueror. Anything smaller than that and the konqueror link was added instead of a mozilla one. emma -- Emma Jane Hogbin [[ 416 417 2868 ][ www.xtrinsic.com ]] -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
