DetailsDescription:
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. |

It would probably be better to request this change from upstream.

We had a packaging issue that has been fixed in xdg-utils 1.1.0-2.20120520 - is it still an issue?

The latest release has fixed the problem by introducing the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP variable.
