I use Archlinux as the reporter. People, it's really serious, Chromium opens all files in Mozilla Firefox (!!) and Xarchiver does the same.

This doesn't work since this commit: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg /xdg-utils/commit/?id=c9551d250722081cbf7d6611f417bc597765e5c9 .

Totally agree, I had to remove this line so that my workaround with "export DE=xfce" could work again.

It doesn't overwrite my "export DE=xfce" in .xinitrc. Ideally there should be a check if it was already defined manually.
