xdg-open is the first choice because it is intended to be a single place where you configure which program shows each format instead of doing that for every single application. So that is the right first choice, because that means that if xdg-open is correctly configured this will work for lyx and for all other programs that rely on it. Since this is a freedesktop standard it applies equally for kde, gnome or xfce. > pavel -- José Abílio
