Hi,
> It would be great if Kile PDF viewing worked by default on non-KDE installs - particularly as KDE is not the default for testing. Currently, after install kile, in order to view a PDF generated by kile, one has to modify the PDF tool (settings->Conf. Kile->Tools->Build->ViewPDF->Command), or attempts to view the generated PDF fail with a message in the log area "failed to start".

exo-open is Xfce-specific.
However, there's xdg-open, which is more general and would therefore
IMHO be more suited.
Kind regards
