Package: xdg-utils Version: 1.0.2-6.1 Severity: normal
Currently xdg-open falls back to sensible-browser for url schemas it does not understand. My current sensible-browser is arora, which calls xdg-open for schemas it does not understand. Neither of them understands mailto. I think you can see where this is going :). It would be nice if there was some way to detect these kind of loops, maybe via the environment. If e.g. xdg-open set a variable like XDG_OPEN_CALLED_ME then at least clients could check that, and xdg-open could as well, although that relies on the other part of the loop not enthusiastically cleaning the environment. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (900, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash xdg-utils depends on no packages.
