Well , I have other browsers installed (Midori,Arora) . What If I decided to choose Midori as a default in the future . What If qt apps ignore Opera as a fallback browser ?
I'm sure there is a way to configure it the way I want . I just don't know how .
btw , nothing useful in ~/.config/Trolltech.conf

Well , thanks to the guys at the irc channel .
Adding to ~/.bashrc
export BROWSER="opera"then logging out completely and logging in did the trick . It works with other browsers too .

This is quite cool!! Are there other lines like this, e.g. export EMAIL="claws-mail" or such alike? Would be very interesting!
