Bundyo, anything about the dbus-switchboard thing above? :)
Its partially possible as discussed previously - apparently most Nokia software is directly opening the browser with dbus and not relying on mime types. Probably other programs do the same thing.

Looks like a bug - html maxlength atribute is subtracted by 2.

Not sure about the search home applet, but for pidgin, go to preferences, the browser tab, choose "Manual", and type /usr/bin/tear %s in the "manual" text box.

Yup, and as I understand it, the purpose of dbus-switchboard is to intercept these calls and reroute them to more useful handlers, such as Tear. However, the previous mentions of dbus-switchboard in this thread seem to only refer to people wondering how to do it, and the same question has come up and gone unanswered in switchboard's own thread as well. So far you seem to be the only one who knows how to do it - could you share?

@TrueJournals: Ah, you rock! Thanks, that already takes care of 85% of my external link opening. Should've looked more carefully!

You can get Tear to open a link using two ways:
Code:
dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.Tear /com/nokia/tear com.nokia.Tear.OpenAddress string:"http://maemo.org"
and

Code:
tear url
However the first one won't start a new browser if there isn't one started, while the second will. I'm not using dbus-switchboard, I'm only telling what I read in this thread. Let me check.

One piece:

Second piece:
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...027#post274027

And that's about all I can find. I ran dbus-switchboard and customized some things but didn't succeed in getting anything to run in Tear.

I'm not sure how deep your interest goes, but you might find this diagram and the surrounding text informative.

Hmm, I'm seeing a problem here... The dbus method that the browser uses is called new_window (I believe). Since tear uses OpenAddress (and probably doesn't respond to new_window), applications would call tear with new_window, and tear would just open and ignore the address.

Haven't fact-checked/tested any of this, so feel free to correct me.

Thanks, that's rather interesting in fact.

We all would love Tear. Stskeeps uploaded your webkit from Extras and it built for x86 only :/

I noticed the same thing in this finnish onlinebank http://www.op.fi
Webkit engine (both in Tear and Nokia browser) only allows you to type in 2 characters in password (Salasana) field. Microb working just fine.
