Hello list,
I am very sorry if it is just a basic question but I failed to get
google to help me. Could someone point me how to set up default
applications, so automagical applications like skype, firefox and
similar would understand what is my default browser, mail client and so
on. Up to now I was using BROWSER environmental variable, which seemed
to help me. However, I want more integration of applications now.
Thanks a lot,
Ignas A.

If you use KDE, system settings, default applications, then adjust your
settings there. I'm not sure which GUI you use since you didn't mention
it so this may or may not help.

Thanks, I have found that, but I failed to find any documentation on
what is the syntax of the file as this file on my laptop is very sparse.

Thanks, for help. I am using Awesome WM without any DE. If I used smth
different with a DE, then it would be way easier as there are GUI tools
for customizing most of the options.

This is what is in my file. Maybe this will help with the syntax, a
little anyway.
[Added Associations]
application/xml=scribus.desktop;
text/plain=kde4-kwrite.desktop;writer.desktop;kde4-kate.desktop;
video/x-flv=smplayer.desktop;kde-kmplayer.desktop;gnome-mplayer.desktop;
Hope that helps.

I found the following in eselect news:
**
2011-04-27-glib-228
Title Upgrade to GLIB 2.28
Author The Gentoo Freedesktop Maintainers <freedesktop-
bugs@gentoo.org>
Posted 2011-04-27
Revision 1
The method for setting default applications for specific URI types
(https://, mailto://, etc.) changed in dev-libs/glib-2.28 and newer.
If you previously set them in GConf using the Configuration Editor,
they will now be ignored.
If you use GNOME, you must upgrade gnome-session and
gnome-control-center and set your default browser/mail-client again.
If you don't use GNOME, you should ensure that the file
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list has the following content:
[Added Associations]
x-scheme-handler/http=$browser_name.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/https=$browser_name.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/mailto=$mailclient_name.desktop;
Replace $browser_name.desktop and $mailclient_name.desktop with the
appropriate file from /usr/share/applications that can handle
http/https/mailto URIs.
The system-wide version of the file is often at
/usr/share/applications/defaults.list instead.
Please make sure that your browsers and mail clients have been upgraded
to the latest stable versions before doing all this.
More information about using defaults.list and mimeapps.list is at:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/mime-actions-spec
**
This should help?
