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

[Jerry Vonau]

Just a thought, wonder if adding x-scheme-handler/http to mime_types= in
browse's activity.info file would allow sugar to override what the system
is providing? Another place for that definition might be in
/usr/share/sugar/data/mime.defaults.
