Later (after supper and household chores) when checking on irc chat, I received the notification of the fix, and installed xdg-utils from X11:lxde (updating from the M4 1.0.2-87.1 to the factor 1.0.2-175.1). This works for me now, and I recommend this bug report be closed. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Moreover it's already set to that value near the end of xdg-open, so there's probably a bug somewhere. But this is not the fix. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

My point is that 'BROWSER=konqueror xdg-open http://kde.org' should open the URL in Konqueror, but if you explicitly set BROWSER in the script, that won't work. As the script itself already checks for empty BROWSER, you should just check why that check doesn't seem to work for you. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

'BROWSER=konqueror xdg-open http://kde.org' should open the URL in Konqueror,
the point is, applications just call "xdg-open http://www.something.it" without exporting "BROWSER"... imho we should do then something like if BROWSER == ' ' BROWSER=abc:def:ghi in other words, if BROWSER is empty (not exported and not available), that export browser with default values do you agree on that? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

"xdg-open http://www.something.it"

The point is, it is the user possibly setting the variable.
imho we should do then something like
if BROWSER == ' ' BROWSER=abc:def:ghi
in other words, if BROWSER is empty (not exported and not available), that export browser with default values
See end of xdg-open. Possibly that code is misplaced. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

"lxde" and "generic" are the $DE value.. that means
if [ x"$DE" = x"" ]; then
is FALSE, so the check for the browser will not be done... should we just move from if [ x"$DE" = x"" ]; then # if BROWSER variable is not set, check some well known browsers instead if [ x"$BROWSER" = x"" ]; then BROWSER=firefox:mozilla:netscape fi DE=generic fi to if [ x"$DE" = x"" ]; then DE=generic fi # if BROWSER variable is not set, check some well known browsers instead if [ x"$BROWSER" = x"" ]; then BROWSER=firefox:mozilla:netscape fi -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
