Title: xdg-open ignores $BROWSER Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: xdg-utils This is on Ubuntu 11.04. xdg-open seems to be ignoring the BROWSER enviroment variable. If i'm not wrong, is using gnome-open, and i cannot configure gnome-open to use w3m, which is the browser i want to use. Wouldn't be best to honor the BROWSER variable? xdg-open should have a consistent behaviour and not change between desktops To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+bug/783914/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
