I downloaded the file from http://portland.freedesktop.org/download/xdg-utils-1.0.2.tgz
and compiled it locally. It worked! I was using the cholesterol free desktop (xfce), and then the terminal spat the exo-open not found, as it seems to be the one used by the xfce to open files. In this machine, gnome-open works, but not on the other ones. And I guess that is the one that xdg-open calls in this machine when I use the gnome-desktop. In short, compiling xdg-utils, and using gnome as the desktop completely solves the problem in this machine, but am not sure on the others (they have gnome-open; but it does not work) I don't know about sdtwebclient Thanks for all the work! -Adrian.
