CONFIGURATION
Without a configuration file, gnome-moz-remote will assume
it should use either Netscape or Mozilla. When starting a
new web browser, it will try to find a mozilla binary. If
it finds one, it will use it. If not, it will start
netscape instead.
If you want to start a different browser instead of the
default, create a file named ~/.gnome/gnome-moz-remote
with the following contents:
[Mozilla]
filename=netscape
NEEDS_TERM=false
NREMOTE=true
If the web browser needs a terminal, set NEEDS_TERM to
true. If the web browser understands the Netscape Remote
Protocol,
http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/x-remote.html
set NREMOTE to true. Otherwise, it should be false. As
of this writing, only Mozilla and Netscape support this
protocol, although it would be trivial to add support to
other Open Source browsers.
Note that if you set NREMOTE to false, gnome-moz-remote
will never try to contact a currently running browser, but
will always start a new instance.
