Public bug reported:
When exo-utils is installed, xdg-open (via gvfs-open) will open nautilus
instead of the preferred application, e.g for "xdg-open index.html",
nautilus will open and highlight the index.html file.
I could track it down to the 'exo-utils' package, where I probably have
used exo-preferred-applications from once. In
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list there is the following entry,
which appears to cause it, if exo-file-manager is installed:
mimeapps.list:x-scheme-handler/file=exo-file-manager.desktop
mimeapps.list might have survived a few upgrades already.
The bug appears to be that exo-file-manager should not use nautilus, but
the preferred application.
There are several related issues reported in the web, e.g.:
