Comment 14 for bug 1001902

Using

+open_mate()
+{
+ if gvfs-open --help 2>/dev/null 1>&2; then
+ gvfs-open "$1"
+ else
+ mate-open "$1"
+ fi
+
+ if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
+ exit_success
+ else
+ exit_failure_operation_failed
+ fi
+}

makes it work better with aplications like dropbox also (launch caja
instead of nautilus for example)
