Title:
  exo-open does not handle URIs properly

Status in exo:
  Unknown
Status in exo package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  when executing xdg-open "magnet:?...

  xdg-open detects XFCE display manager and calls exo-open "$1" witch is
  not capable to handle magnets at all.

  should it call gnome-open with xubuntu?

  quick fix:

  edit /usr/bin/xdg-open and change
  if [ x"$DE" = x"" ]; then
      DE=generic
  fi

  to
  if [ x"$DE" = x"" ]; then
      DE=generic
  fi
  DE=gnome
