Gnome-terminal Fix for opening links
I got mad at gnome-terminal today. It wasn’t opening links. So, as usual, GNOME hid the setting away somewhere completely insane.
.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http
Why isn’t there just a .gnome-terminalrc? How hard would that be?

It’s because there is a lot of programs who wish to open links, not only gnome-terminal.

Don’t edit that file directly either, usually it’ll get run over by gconfd, who keeps an in-memory buffer of the schema. Instead, use the gconf-editor program. The primary reason of GConf is so that programs can update settings immediately once they’re changed, without resorting to polling config files all the time
