Package: debianutils
Version: 2.15.2

Description: when having a URL in Openoffice, clicking on the URL causes 
sensible-browser to be called to open the URL. At least on my KDE system 
(version see below), the konqueror browser is fired up. For the duration of 
konqueror being up and running, Openoffice is stalled.

The new version of the sensible-browser script daemonizes the called browser, 
thus calling the browser while keeping Openoffice unlocked.

One caveat though which is present in the original and this new script: the 
konqeror browser process is not terminated if the konqueror window is 
closed. /usr/bin/x-www-browser is lingering. When 
calling /usr/bin/x-www-browser directly, the process is immediately 
terminated when the window is closed. I did not figure out what causes this 
behavior (closing all file descriptors between 0 and 100 in the 
sensible-browser script does not help).

kdebase 3.5.1-1
konqueror 3.5.1-1

Ciao
Stephan
