Just as many of you, I was thrilled to see Quartz-accelerated X11 for OSX. I jumped aboard quickly and started recompiling my favourite apps. Since I don't like any of available Mac newsreaders, I installed my favourite from my Linux days,
Pan. I started reading some groups and then I found myself with a problem. How can I manage to open links in my default OSX browser when I click on them?
The answer was simpler than I thought. I just put 'open' (no quotes) as my browser in Pan's preferences. I clicked on the link, and Safari fired up. Amazing.
I guess this should work with any other gtk app with the ability to change the default browser and probably with any other UNIX app with the same ability.
