Package: xdg-utils Version: 1.1.3-2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Steps to reproduce:
* Be in LXQT, Enlightenment, or any desktop environment that does not match one of xdg-email's special cases (I used lxqt-core) * Install a graphical MUA (I used balsa) * Install a text-mode MUA that has a .desktop file (I used mutt) * Set balsa as the default MUA. In a throwaway test environment, you can do this with: mkdir ~/.config (echo "[Default Applications]"; echo x-scheme-handler/mailto=balsa-mailto-handler.desktop) > ~/.config/mimeapps.list (or in a non-throwaway environment you'll want to edit the file with a text editor to preserve existing configuration). * Alt+F2, xdg-email m...@example.com (or the desktop's "run a command" functionality, whatever that is: Alt+F2 is correct for at least GNOME and LXQT) * If balsa launches, exit from it * Set mutt as the default MUA, for example: (echo "[Default Applications]"; echo x-scheme-handler/mailto=mutt.desktop) > ~/.config/mimeapps.list * Alt+F2, xdg-email m...@example.com * In a terminal emulator, xdg-email m...@example.com Expected result: (This is what will happen if you use a GNOME-derived desktop or XFCE, instead of LXQT.) * After first "xdg-email", balsa appears. After completing the setup wizard if necessary, there is a new blank draft email to m...@example.com. * After second "xdg-email", a terminal emulator appears, with a new blank email to m...@example.com opened in mutt * After third "xdg-email", another terminal emulator appears, again with a new blank email to m...@example.com opened in mutt Actual result: * After first "xdg-email", balsa appears as expected. * After second "xdg-email", nothing happens. * After third "xdg-email", mutt runs in the terminal emulator from which you ran xdg-email. Workaround: * Install xterm (workaround for #773915) * Ensure you have libglib2.0-bin installed * Run: XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME xdg-email m...@example.com
