exo-0.10 was just stabilized, but this breaks mailto: links that do not contain an email address, such as mailto:?body=Helloworld Such URIs are used to implement "Send link" features in web browsers. The problem was caused by this commit: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/exo/commit/exo/exo-string.c?id=d11199bd3d543dd0575674531d91b208f64cc8cb (I don't know why the commit message claims "mailto: never works"; I've never had any trouble with it) Notably, the function claims to be checking the string against RFC 2396, which does not require URIs to contain a '/'. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a mailto: link without an email address in it Actual Results: Error message appears: Unable to detect the URI-scheme of "mailto:?body=Helloworld". Expected Results: Thunderbird opens with body and/or subject filled in $ emerge --info exo Portage 2.1.11.55 (default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop, gcc-4.6.3, glibc-2.15-r3, 3.8.3-gentoo-r1 x86_64)

I found that xdg-open failed on magnet links, because they were opened by exo-open. Same principle as mailto. As a temporary fix, I hard-coded my torrent client (deluge-gtk) to open magnet links before exo-open was called. /usr/bin/xdg-open: open_xfce() { if(echo "$1" | grep -q '^magnet:'); then deluge-gtk "$1" else exo-open "$1" fi if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then exit_success else exit_failure_operation_failed fi } perhaps this will help someone
There is a commit which fixes a problem: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/exo/commit/?id=05848bb3cb10ea19ef8cba607bdabcd25560063c Would be nice to have this patch in the portage tree.
