According to mate, the "gvfs-open" command is no longer a mate-fork, but part of gnome.
https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-vfs/issues/6#issuecomment-128310994

Furthermore, within the Gnome (Unity) environment, running the command  "gvfs-open http://www.bbc.co.uk"; 
opens the BBC webpage as we expect.  However, running in the Mate environment, running the same command opens a blank webpage.

So the problem thus far is that when a Gnome component is run outside of
Gnome, it doesn't work as expected.

What should I do now? I don't know where to to take this...


** Summary changed:

- ubuntu-bug is itself broken

Title:
  ubuntu-bug is broken (only) within Mate, because of gvfs-open.

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The ubuntu bug reporting system is rather badly broken, because when I
  run ubuntu-bug/apport-bug, it gathers data, then opens a new blank
  firefox window, but does not connect to launchpad!

  The root cause is this one:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exo/+bug/1427144
  which basically means that apport needs to invoke firefox with a different set of options.

  This should be trivial to fix, but I think it's rather important, especially given how hard it is to get a direct report into Launchpad, and all the redirects that emphasise using the ubuntu-bug tool: 
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs

  (I'm reporting this from Ubuntu Wily, though I think I recall seeing it in Vivid)
  Apport version is:  2.17.3-0ubuntu4
