Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
Using Firefox 3.6 from daily build ppa (this is only in 3.6, not in
3.5). I noticed that many important apps don't open as external clients
whenever I download associated files. Some examples from kern.log:
geany

other apps are for example, emacs23, loadkeys, less, lesspipe....
