Summary: http-links do not open...
Initial Comment:
when i click on "Help->report bug" i get the following error on the stderr and nothing happens:
/usr/bin/gnome-open 'http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=55736&atid=478070'
Error showing url: There was an error launching the default action command associated with this location.
same with all other http URLs.
the IRC-one works fine (it also uses gnome-open)
this is on debian lenny/sid with Pd-0.40.3-extended-20080514-debian-stable-i386.deb
i am using KDE and not gnome.
i have never touched the settings of gnome-open, so i am not sure why it does not work...
most likely (well, i am sure that) this is problem of gnome-open; however i think it does not add to a positive first glance...

AFAIK, gnome-open will open any type of URL, like irc://, etc. and send it
to the correct app. That is why I put gnome-open and xdg-open first. Will
'sensible-browser' do that?

sorry, I meant: "I would NOT do a real "depends" for debianutils..."

I think, for Debian packages "sensible-browser" should be the first one.
If not already done, you could add a recommendation for "debianutils" to
the dependencies for the package, sensible-browser is part of that. I would
do a real "depends" for debianutils, as Pd works without browser as well.
Many people don't use Gnome, especially on dedicated audio machines, and
sensible-browser in turn can start the other browsers. If it doesn't start
the correct browser it's a bug in the Debian package and we could report it
upstream.

Here's the current code:
http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/branches/pd-extended/v0-40/pd/src/u_main.tk?view=markup
549 foreach candidate \
550 { gnome-open xdg-open sensible-browser iceweasel firefox
mozilla \
551 galeon konqueror netscape lynx } {
552 set browser [lindex [auto_execok $candidate]
0]
553 if {[string length $browser]} {
554 puts stderr [format "%s '%s'" $browser
$filename]
555 exec -- sh -c [format "%s '%s'" $browser
$filename] &
556 break
557 }
558 }
If someone wants to test this more in depth, and make a patch, that would
be quite useful.

Pd-0.40.3-extended-20080509-ubuntu-gutsy-i386.deb

Since you are using KDE, I recommend:
apt-get remove gnome-open
The URLs in the Help menu work for me on Ubuntu, Debian/GNOME, Mac OS X,
and Windows. I don't use KDE at all, so if you can make it work better
there, please do.
