Summary: webbrowser.open() fails on Linux

Initial Comment:
webbrowser.open( "http://www.python.org" ) just launches 
the browser, but without the URL.  In other words, the 
default ("home") page of the browser opens, rather than the 
URL specified in the call.

This fails on Linux.  Function works on Win32.

I'm using Python 2.2.1, Tk/Tcl 8.4b2, Linux 2.4.9.

Web browser is Mozilla 1.0RC3.

Can you please edit webbrowser.Netscape._remote, to add

print cmd

before

rc = os.system(cmd)

Can you also add a print statement into the 'if rc' block?
Can you then please report the output of these print statements?
