I mailed this to a few people today. Some of the old school #blackbox people might remember it, I wrote it about 2 years ago and never released it seriously.
It takes the current selection and sends it to an app, configured by a ~/.opener file (just like blackbox and co). At the time googlizer just came out which was a GNOME app. Seemed silly to required GNOME for what turns out to be 200 lines of code.
