Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xdg-utils

The xdg-open code attempts to detect a desktop environment (GNOME, KDE,
XFCE4, other) and choose a way of opening files accordingly.

Users of Fluxbox, Openbox and other WM's may have gnome-open or the
corresponding KDE or XFCE components installed and may wish xdg-open to
use them.

detectDE() could have code added to check for a variable - say
XDG_OPEN_FORCE_DE - and use that value (kde, gnome, xfce, generic)
instead of attemtpting a detection if it is present.

** Affects: xdg-utils (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
