Bug Description

Xubuntu 15.04
xfce 4.12
xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1-2ubuntu10

I have firefox and chrome installed. Firefox is defined as default in xfce settings. When calling a URL with xdg-open it starts chrome.

A quick look in /usr/bin/xdg-open reveals line 309 in function detectDE():

elif xprop -root _DT_SAVE_MODE 2> /dev/null | grep ' = \"xfce4\"$' >/dev/null 2>&1; then DE=xfce;

This doesn't seem to work anymore.
