Package: exo-utils
Version: 0.3.101-1
Severity: normal
With the preferred web browser set to "Debian Sensible Browser",
clicking the help button on the main xfce4 menu does not work. Iceweasel
starts but attempts to open the mangled URL
file:///home/matthew/'file:///usr/share/xfce4/doc/C/index.html'
The problem can be reproduced by running
exo-open --launch WebBrowser file:///usr/share/xfce4/doc/C/index.html
directly. It seems that exo-open runs sensible-browser with the URL
'file:///usr/share/xfce4/doc/C/index.html'
where the single quotatation marks are embedded in the string. These
quotation marks are not stripped off when the URL is passed first to
sensible-browser and then to x-www-browser, which finally execs a
command equivalent to typing
/usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin -a iceweasel \'file:///usr/share/xfce4/doc/C/index.html\'
into a terminal. The quotation marks embedded in the URL confuse
iceweasel.
