The only way you can get to the browser bit is (a) not to be using
KDE, Gnome, or XFCE, and (b) not to have a working version of mimeopen
installed. That's a perfectly sensible setup,
Seems to match what I have. Debian, using icewm for speed, xfce packages
not
installed and couldn't find any mimeopen stuff. Still, xdg-open works well
for pdf files, they open in xpdf as expected.
but in that case we shouldn't use xdg-open, I'd guess.
Well - why not?
If the user have xdg-open (in debian's case, the xdg-utils package) then
they should configure it properly. If they don't want to use xdg-open,
then get rid of xdg-utils and LyX configure will pick the next possible
viewer...
