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 -- xdg-open should allow user to force "desktop environment" detection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220774 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
