As you can see in fe-gtk.c around line 906, it iterates through xdg-open, gnome-open, kfmclient, finally it falls back on firefox and mozilla. If it turns out that everything failed, it could simply add an error message. > 2. Study the effect of having xdg-utils installed/uninstalled on GNOME > and KDE.

Have a look at xdg-open, it does the job in a clean way. It checks the current running desktop and executes either gnome-open, kfmclient, or exo-open. Otherwise it tries something more generic that will work for other environments. > 3. Add "xdg-utils" to "Recommends:".
