Please excuse me for being slighlty offtopic, but being one of the initiators of the xdg-utils scripts I have to voice my agreement with this assessment. These scripts where intended as a quick work around until a more apporpriate solution like standardzed interfaces could be provided. Unfortunately this never happened for various reasons, so any move into that direction is highly appreciated.
