If you're using either Knode or Pan, you need to specify the default
browser in the newsclient settings. Reason being that these programs try
to be desktop environment agnostic to some degree. Somebody using KDE
doesn't want to have to edit Gnome config files to change Pan's behaviour
and vice versa.
the setting Preferences -> Preferred Applications will affect only Gnome
compliant programs, like Gaim and Evolution.
If you think it's a bit wierd and a hassle, then think back to the Windows
confusing way of dealing with preferred programs and quietly grin to
yourself. :P
