[pkg-lxqt-devel] Bug#853250: Bug#853250: lxqt: Lxqt removable devices widget launches Firefox instead of Pcmanfm-qt

[Alf Gaida]

No need for sarcasm - in my case it is/was audacious what opens new 
devices - binaries sounds terrible, it is annoying but not a bug. There 
is nothing we can do about - the best thing we can do is to track this 
down and file bugs about not so sensible mime-type handling to other 
package maintainers.

Fixing that behaviour should be no rocket science - find the mime-type 
that is bound to the device / inode action and set it to pcmanfm-qt.
These things become worse if more than one deskop environment is 
involved in the handling - and thats exactly the reason we can't do much.

Imagine that you use DE 1 (Xfce) and install DE  II (LXQt) - both DEs 
will bind some applications to some mime-types and these mix will result 
in sometimes strange behaviour. this mess is perfect if some 
applications jump in and add their own bindings to that mess - and 
eventually win with that. How should the package manager know, who is 
wrong or who is right? I would call that Catch 22 - there is no sensible 
solution beside not to mix such things. Thats the best advice i can give 
- and i struggle with that for some years now in several distributions.

It's not that i'm not willing to help - but i'm simply can't do anything.

Maybe it is a good idea to join oftc #debian-lxqt or freenode #lxde - 
don't expect wonders, but some things could be sorted out before another 
bug is written that leads to nothing.

BTW - not all the bugs are closed, the bug about the panel hiding is 
valid - and i will forward this upstream.
