Description
Currently gnome-open is used as the first helper application to open links, regardless of which window manager is used.
The attached patch used xdg-open (from freedesktop.org) as the first try. If that fails, the other alternatives are used in the order used before. This should work for all modern window managers equally well.
I suggest applying this patch to the current source, I tried & tested it with latest svn (3652), it compiles and runs fine.
