Hello,

I am not sure if the title is clear, so let me explain the issue. I am using Lubuntu 11.10 in my computer, which had Chromium installed by default and then I installed Opera afterwards (which appears apparently as the default browser in the "Preferred Applications" option in the menu).

In the emesene preferences menu, option "Live Messenger" there is a button called "Open Live Profile". I press this button and Opera is opened. but the autologin feature doesn't work, i.e, it opens the Windows Live homepage, but still, I need to enter my username and password.

On the other hand, there is a button with the number of unread messages in the menu. I clicked it and Chromium is opened. The autologin feature works perfectly and it shows my Windows Live homepage directly, so I can check my hotmail inbox.

In consequence, I have two questions:

- Does the autologin feature is expected to work after pressing those two buttons? (so, in the case of Opera browser there is a problem? Or the problem is rather a bug in emesene?)

- Why two different browsers are opened after pressing those buttons? Is there a way to configure my OS so that the same browser is opened (perhaps emesene reads data about preferences from two different files), or is rather an issue of emesene which should be reading the same preferences file in order to choose the same browser for whose actions?

Thanks for your attention
