Bug Description
I use fluxbox for my window manager and Dolphin (from KDE) for my file manager. Dolphin and Nautilus are set to open PDFs with Okular. But xdg-open doesn't find this association, so it falls back to run-mailcap, which launches Evince.
The reason for this seems to be that ~/.local/
application/
but the actual desktop file is at
/usr/share/
Solution:
xdg-open should try replacing dashes ('-') in file names with slashes ('/').
