longer than that?

It seems that any fix for this would require a significant investment of
time from someone with significant technical knowledge - not really
papercut material.

It looks to me like the issue here is that the Mozilla team in the past
was unwilling to implement anything that wasn't cross platform. I
haven't worked with GTK myself but it looks like the new version 3.0

I have a question, with xdg-open, it opens the file with the default

to display the Gnome UI Open With ?

Hi all
Are you aware of freedesktop.org and specifically the Portland subproject?
It's a joint GNOME/KDE project to promote better application desktop
integration and seems to have a fairly good momentum.
http://portland.freedesktop.org/wiki/
Coren and me were talking about a command-line to open the desktop open
with dialog. xdg-open just opens the file with the default application.
We need a command-line which open the open with dialog, to be able to
choose the application we want to use.

Patch looks good, but it's not trivial for us to apply it -- would
require much testing, and, more importantly, upstream acceptance. Not a

As the original reporter of this UX issue I have to say that this surprises
