      <title>Getting f-spot to upload to flickr on KUbuntu</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;f-spot is a good photo importer and organizer, but it is a gnome
application. When I installed it on KUbuntu, which uses KDE, using
aptitude install f-spot it worked ok, except I got the following error
when I tried to send my photos to flickr.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;GLib.GException: There is no default action associated with this location
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After some Googling I found this solution...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;&amp;gt; gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command '/opt/firefox/firefox %s'
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;p&gt;my Firefox is in /opt/firefox, so you may have to change that path, or even point to a different browser.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Make sure gconftool-2 is installed (it was on mine after installing a bunch of gnome apps).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It sets the default browser, and after this I was able to upload to flickr.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
