	So there is that xdg-open wrapper which we try to use for sending
E-mail / opening composers or opening URLs - at least when we can find
it etc.

	http://portland.freedesktop.org/xdg-utils-1.0/

	I'd suggest extending that helper at freedesktop and when it is
deployed & discoverable adding support to LibreOffice.
