[Sugar-devel] Widget to show a notification message with a link

[Gustavo Duarte]

Finally I found the setting needed to open links with Browser Activity
by default.

xdg-mime default sugar-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/http
and

xdg-mime default sugar-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/https

Adding this settings, links on notifications messages should be opened
by BrowserActivity.

Offcourse a bash script to launch BrowserActivit  is needed. Something like:

#!/bin/sh
while [ -n "$2" ] ; do
    case "$1" in

        -u | --uri)         uri="$2"         ;;

        *) echo unknown argument $1 $2 ;;

    esac
    shift;shift
done

sugar-launch org.laptop.WebActivity --uri "$uri"

Thanks a lot for all your tips, were very helpfully.

Gustavo.
