I'm trying to configure system wide settings in linux so any new user will apply for this settings.

I want register my zimbra server with mailto links.

I've found some information here: http://www.zimbra.com/forums/general-questions/48547-how-control-mailto-selection-firefox.html

but this must be performed by the user and I want to be preconfigured.

I also tried to play with mimeTypes.rdf, but it seems that there's no system wide mimetypes file. is just created when users changes something.

how can I setup that setting system wide?

I've found a partial solution.

create an application file, for example /usr/share/applications/zimbra.desktop with this content:


[Desktop Entry]

Icon=mail-message-new

MimeType=x-scheme-handler/mailto;

Name=Zimbra

Comment=Zimbra

Exec=xdg-open https://my.zimbraserver.com/zimbra/?view=compose&to=%u

Type=Application

X-XFCE-MimeType=x-scheme-handler/mailto;


then modify file /etc/gnome/defaults.list, find and substitute x-scheme-handler/mailto with filename you just created:

x-scheme-handler/mailto=zimbra.desktop

the caveat is only works with unity, if you use another wm probably won't work
