Not so quick---the different desktops affect LO in that it has three different
scripts it can call when launching a browser, depending on desktop either
program/gnome-open-url, program/kde-open-url, or the fallback program/open-url.

Now, in the fallback program/open-url there is indeed line 65 where the
argument is not properly quoted,

  if echo $1 | grep '^mailto:' > /dev/null; then

where $1 should rather read "$1" with quotes around it.

What's strange is that that appears to not make a difference when I test it
here; maybe a variance in Bash.

Denis, if you manually fix that line in your LO installation, does it work even
under XFCE then?
