environment variable, than to push a change and get a new release of xdg
(these release does not seem to happen very often these days). Also it
might make make sense for LXDE-Qt to set that environment variable to
something different than what LXDE(-classic) does. They are different
desktops after all. Changing the environment variable does not preclude
pushing for a change of xdg-open.
