Suggested changes to xdg-open

I am a former xfce user who now uses openbox, but I still prefer to use
exo-open as a backend to xdg-open. Before I set the DE environmental variable
to xfce to make xdg-open use exo-open, but now a detectDE function has been
added to the script which overrides the DE variable set by the user. Could you
modify the script so that it does not run detectDE if DE is already set? I've
attached a diff showing what I mean.
