Description vgotchev 2011-03-23 15:04:00 UTC
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

Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
