I am in favour of this, too. Somebody said that xdg-open does not work well on some distros. This should be reported to the vendor, I believe that it is good if we push xdg a bit. If somebody does not like it he should simply hide the xdg-open command from LyX. When implementing this you might want to look what debian does: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lyx/lyx_1.4.3-3.diff.gz Georg
