[Bug 204858] Re: sensible-browser should use xdg-open for Gnome / KDE / XFCE support

[Thibault Lemaitre]

As mentioned in the Bug #562476, comment #5, see [1] for details :
"Yes, it's the same issue for sensible-browser too.

This is a long-standing issue, and it is well known that the
alternatives system sucks for this type of thing. The alternatives
system is not a user-configurable preference, but is a system-wide
preference that can only be configured by the root user. In an ideal
world, applications shouldn't be using x-www-browser and gnome-www-
browser at all, as there are other ways to do this"
