Bug Description
Binary package hint: gmail-notify
By default, gmail-notify uses www-browser for its browser - which does not launch any browser on ubuntu. Should probably be changed to firefox.

On my system www-browser, from a terminal, launches w3m, a text mode browser. Not good anyway, and doesn't even start from gmail-notify.
I don't think we should hard-code firefox. There are (several :-() standard ways to call a browser, so the user can change the settings once for all apps. Either call x-www-browser (which gives priority to mozilla over firefox, bug already reported), or rather gnome-www-browser (probably the best choice at this point).
