The patch referenced in post #17 won't correct this issue.

It's adding the following condition:
x"$DESKTOP_SESSION" = x"xfce"

However, that's not the value of DESKTOP_SESSION:

$ env | grep DESKTOP
DESKTOP_SESSION=xubuntu
XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=xubuntu
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE

A more correct check would be against XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

Title:
  xdg-open doesn't properly detect Xfce/Xubuntu

Status in Xdg-utils:
  Fix Released
Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  xdg-open doesn't detect the XFCE desktop environment on its fresh install on Ubuntu (not Xubuntu).
  I was able to fix that by adding 'elif [ x"$DESKTOP_SESSION" = x"xubuntu" ]; then DE=xfce;' line in 'detectDE()' function.
