I did some quick searching, this part is a bit murky. The generic way
of setting up default application associations with mime types is
through desktop files and ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list.
Now XFCE and xdg-open both use this, I do not think this is true for
KDE, Gnome, or Gnome-like DEs though. So for desktops that have their
own config system, it is possible xdg-open's generic and the desktop
specific preference might not match.
Some testing by other desktop users might be useful here. Maybe Matt
and Glyn can help here (CC'ed).
To test:
1. open directory with pdf/html/odt files in dired,
2. put point on one of these files,
2. run asynchronous shell command: `& DE=generic xdg-open RET'.
Does it start your prefered application? If not, we should drop this
idea. If yes, maybe it is worth it.
