This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an exception in the current release, please ask your support representative. Can you try gvfs-open instead? I'm trying to find the change in upstream repository.

Description of problem: One of our users reported trouble opening PDF and other files in Chromium. When he opened a downloaded PDF in Chromium, it opened Firefox instead of evince. He learned that Chromium uses xdg-open to open files, and indeed xdg-open opens a PDF in Firefox! $ xdg-mime query default application/pdf evince.desktop $ xdg-open /tmp/2246094.pdf # starts Firefox After he downloaded xdg-utils 1.1.0-rc1, and xdg-open opens evince. Could you please fix xdg-utils that come with RHEL6.0
