Dear maintainers,

Confirming replication of xdg-open bug in Ubuntu 19.10 running LXDE as DE.

Behavior as described in this AskUbuntu thread:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1229428/xdg-open-commands-inheriting-user-directory

xdg-open URL calls are not being parsed correctly by the package due to a
syntax error in xdg-open config.

Rex Dieter's commit resolved the issue for me and now xdg-open + URL opens
the URL, as expected, in a default browser tab:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/commit/31525d3855f876ddf2e29091b2e8d376f923e09e

I understand that this has been resolved in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
