I don't think I'd change my default browser.

A way to change defaultbrowser it is edit /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser

from:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh                                                                      
exec mozstart "$@"

to:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh                                                                      
exec opera "$@"

A way to auto-startup programs in Joe's Window Manager is edit /root/.jwmrc

Add entries to the <StartupCommand> section.

There are other ways also, maybe even better ways if you have multiple windows managers, which I don't.

As for file associations. You use ROX-Filer, how about playing with it, especially right-click operations. I think its fairly intuitive. Read the Help on ROX also, because its loaded with good information.

Or maybe some good soul will help you with the particulars with ROX and associations. I gotta go back to bed for more Sunday zzzz's

Interestingly the defaultbrowser hack does not work
when the browser is called from a hyperlink in gnumeric.
