Description Mike Civil 2011-05-21 17:11:53 UTC 
Desktop file /usr/share/applications/opera-next-browser.desktop installed as part of www-client/opera-next is identical to that installed for www-client/opera. As a result anything invoking opera-next via the desktop file starts /usr/bin/opera and not /usr/bin/opera-next.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install opera-next
2. Set opera-next as default browser
3. Click on a URL within any app that uses the desktop file data (eg konsole)
Actual Results:  
/usr/bin/opera is used to start opera

Expected Results:  
/usr/bin/opera-next should have been used

Workaround is to edit /usr/share/applications/opera-next-browser.desktop and alter TryExec and Exec lines to point to correct executable.May also need to change other lines but not sure of effect.
