This is really an internal variable to xdg-utils. It is not a documented interface, so you can't expect it to work. (Maybe there should be an interface, though.) A workaround could be to use gnome-session, or set the variable $GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID. > Therefore, as one example > file:/// url's were opening within Chromium Web Browser when I > clicked on "Show in Folder" from a download from within Chromium.

Then the URL should open in Nautilus. -- Pelle -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
