hmm, surfraw itself won't generate that message, it is probably failing
to invoke a browser correctly and the browser is giving that message.

Is it the same with all elvi?
Do you have any environment variables starting with XDG (eg $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS)?

Can you run a failing elvi directly with sh -x, and post the output.
For instance:

sh -x /usr/lib/surfraw/google foo &> surfraw.out

thanks,

Ian.
