gnome-default-applications-properties shows Firefox as the 
default browser. And 
~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/%gconf.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
        <entry name="command" mtime="1133152652" 
muser="root" type="string">
                <stringvalue>firefox %s</stringvalue>
        </entry>
</gconf>

I can right click on a url in gnome-terminal and open it in 
firefox.

The rpms package the plugins separately. I've installed 
them, and can see them in Audio Codecs.
I see the check boxes on the left. ( BTW, when checked it 
generates this on the terminal:
** (gnomemeeting:6586): CRITICAL **: void 
audio_codecs_list_changed_nt(void*, GmConfEntry*, void*): 
assertion `data != NULL' failed )
Do I need to check a codec to use it? Is there any reason 
not to check them all? I assume a codec is chosen based on 
its position in the list ( top to bottom ), but only among 
the set of codecs that are checked.
