hi again,

>> I use Qt4 apps in custom Xorg session (no KDE, GNOME, or LXDE). It looks like xdg-tools are not prepared for this situation. There is used "webbrowser fail back" In current xdg-tools (see example below).

>> Se we (people around QtDesktop, http://code.google.com/p/qtdesktop/) prepared some patch for xdg-utils:

>> It contains (in our opinion) better handling of default applications for Qt's QDesktopServices calls (qt uses xdg-open internally in X11 builds). Please let me know if is it good approach for you.

any progress in this area? I see there are some new commits in git...

thanks,
petr
