           Summary: Improve LXDE detection for xdg-open
           Product: Portland
           Version: 1.1.0 rc1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: xdg-utils
        AssignedTo: portland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: urxmurx at arcor.de


As reported in bug #36126 as a side note, xdg-open is not able to detect a
running LXDE session on my system (Linux Mint). I now stumbled over
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hardinfo/+bug/778148, where the same
problem was reported for Lubuntu. According to the comments there, it seems to
be a good (i.e. robust) idea to look inside the environment variable
$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP instead of $DESKTOP_SESSION. You perhaps want to change
this just for the upcoming release in order to satisfy the growing LXDE user
base. :-)
