I recently set up my laptop with the latest version of Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 ( with Service Pack 1 ).
After installing Lotus Notes, I found that PDF attachments were opening up via GIMP and not what my system was set for the default handler.
Thinking this to be rather odd, I proceeded with making a slight adjustment to allow my default window handler ( GNOME ) make this decision for me.
To do this I did the following:
- in /opt/ibm/lotus/notes rename openwith to openwith.old
- create a sym link by doing the following for GNOME ln -s $(which gnome-open) ./openwith
- create a sym link by doing the following for KDE ln -s $(which kde-open) ./openwith
Keep in mind that you only perform the sym link depending on which window environment you are using.
If you ever want to go back to letting Lotus Notes decide, simply delete the sym link and rename the openwith.old back to openwith.
