This bug has nothing to do with unity, xdg-utils  , unity-2d, or
unity-place-files.
It is an upstream problem with the desktop files which install wrong handlers
for the things (that is if you do not use XFCE)...
The "MimeType=" entry in the:
/usr/share/applications/exo-file-manager.desktop
/usr/share/applications/exo-mail-reader.desktop
/usr/share/applications/exo-web-browser.desktop
files should become: "X-XFCE-MimeType="
A quick fix for your problem is to change the entry as needed and update
your desktop file database.
Changing the entry can be done as root in a terminal this way:
sed -i -e 's/^MimeType=/X-XFCE-MimeType=/' \
/usr/share/applications/exo-file-manager.desktop \
/usr/share/applications/exo-mail-reader.desktop \
/usr/share/applications/exo-web-browser.desktop
I have prepared a package with the fixed bug in my PPA, so you can install it
(you may need to wait till it builds btw)

Please let someone with the necessary permissions to upload this to the
proper natty updates repos... (you can find the debdiff and all needed
files in my PPA)
