Thank you.

That clearly has the source. Are you of the opinion that this should be added 
to 
Sage, like myself?

If so, any ideas where best to put it?

Reading the docs, it says these scrips should go on the end of the path, so if 
system versions exists (as they seem to be on most platforms), they are used 
instead of the versions in that package. That means creating a new directory, 
something like

SAGE_ROOT/local/bin-end

putting those scrips there, and putting that on the end of the path, after

SAGE_ROOT/local/bin

It appears one needs to add all the scripts, as xdg-open depends on another 
script, so one can't simply use just xdg-open.


I'm not sure how William feels about adding another package in spkg/standard. I 
get the feeling he is not keen, but I'm not sure how to avoid this one, as some 
of the scripts assumed in Sage do not exist on Solaris 10.
