Your proposal seems good to me, but maybe it could be simplified. I
am not sure we need the complexity of choosing a text browser and
separately a graphical browser. Most new users only use Emacs in
graphical mode and will want only a graphical browser.
So I suggest this:
browse-url-text uses the preferred text browser. The first time, it asks
the user to choose the preferred text browser.
browse-url-graphical uses the preferred graphical browser. The first
time, it asks the user to choose the preferred graphical browser.
browse-url on a text terminal runs browse-url-text.
browse-url on a graphical terminal runs browse-url-graphical.
This way, most users will only need to remember browse-url,
and will only be asked once to choose a preferred browser.
Any comments?
