Hi Mark,
Thanks for your script and GConf schema!  I've tested it and I have some
comments.

First, textedit_url.sh is actually started only if I remove '~/bin/'
from the command in the schema (of course, ~/bin is in my PATH).  Maybe
lda expansion is not performed here?

On my Fedora 7 box with Gnome 2.18, Evince (or Gnome) doesn't convert
colons to '%3A' in URLs, so textedit_url.sh should be modified a little.

Here's attached the .sh script which works for me.  I've modified it to
use Emacs.  The most straightforward way to start Emacs as a server is

emacs -f server-start [YOURFILE.ly]


Cheers
