Eh. Sort of. The $BROWSER envvar needs to be set for non-KDE, non-GNOME, non-XFCE, non-LXDE(?) environments. And for me, the browser is a browser, not a universal launcher for umpteen thousand other applications. I'd really like to see some way to associate mimetypes with applications in a general way. $HOME/.config/xdg/mime/ seems as good of a place to me for this. Symlinking $XDG_MIME_DIR/$mimetype to an application .desktop file (verifying that mimetypes match) is also fine by me. xdg-open could then just to the right thing itself and not shuttle things off to DE-specific tools or assume that the browser is a swiss army knife. I'd also like to see "mainstream" browsers (Firefox and Chromium, I'm looking at you; Konqueror already defers to KDE's database which should itself defer to what I'd like xdg-open to become) to use this on Linux and not their own databases. If this has changed since I've last used these browsers day-to-day, that's great. --Ben -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
