NAME

Don't raise the Netscape window.

CONFIGURATION

Without a configuration file, gnome-moz-remote will assume it should use either Netscape or Mozilla. When starting a new web browser, it will try to find a mozilla binary. If it finds one, it will use it. If not, it will start netscape instead.

If you want to start a different browser instead of the default, create a file named ~/.gnome/gnome-moz-remote with the following contents:

           [Mozilla]
           filename=netscape
           NEEDS_TERM=false
           NREMOTE=true
 

If the web browser needs a terminal, set NEEDS_TERM to true. If the web browser understands the Netscape Remote Protocol,

         http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/x-remote.html
 

set NREMOTE to true. Otherwise, it should be false. As of this writing, only Mozilla and Netscape support this protocol, although it would be trivial to add support to other Open Source browsers.

Note that if you set NREMOTE to false, gnome-moz-remote will never try to contact a currently running browser, but will always start a new instance.
