better logic for DE detection

I use xdg-utils-1.0.2, xfce-4.6.1 and xdg-open does not detect XFCE properly.
xdg-open uses following logic:

> if xprop -root _DT_SAVE_MODE | grep ' = \"xfce4\"$' >/dev/null 2>&1; then DE=xfce;

and, if I run xprop, I see following:

$ xprop -root _DT_SAVE_MODE
_DT_SAVE_MODE:  no such atom on any window.

I've written trivial patch, that works for me, it's attached.

I added some logic for gnome as every gnome installation I see has following
environment variable:
GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID=this-is-deprecated

Also, I am not sure if additional logic for KDE makes sense.
