Even though this bug has been rejected, i'll jump in ;) how about making xchat depend on xdg-utils and call xdg-open instead of x-www-browser. xdg-open is aimed to be a generic replacement to gnome- open and alike.
It should use the preferred applications to open the URL you want, instead of using the system default. -- Xchat open links in mozilla not firefox https://launchpad.net/bugs/61243 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
