Open externally menu item causes stacktrace

[Andriy Tymchenko]

when I try to open file externally via context menu "Open externally", nothing actually opens and traceback is generated

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/meld/meld/melddoc.py", line 106, in open_cb
    subprocess.Popen(editor)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 710, in __init__
    errread, errwrite)

I believe it is irrelevant in my context, as I have no more Ubuntu
14.10 installed across system, nor I have any Xubuntu desktop systems.
Feel free to close this as outdated - I have no means to reproduce it
and hardware had been recycled already.

Thanks for your reply.
Closing as bug report is no longer valid.
