Created attachment 325178 [details] emerge --info When you open chromium with an URL as parameter, while another chromium window already exists, the URL will be opened in the existing session and the command will return 23. Since xdg-open consider (rightfully) that everything above 0 is an error, it will try to open the URL in the next browser too (even though it was opened in chromium already). If you have no other browser installed (like in my case) it will open two other tabs in chromium, one with 'http' and one with 'file:///example.com/path'. So opening URLs from the very most programs, isn't a pleasure with this bug. There is also a chromium bug about that: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=146762
Thanks for reporting the bug. I commented upstream. On the Gentoo side, we'd rather stay as close to upstream as possible.
