That's great.  What you want to do sounds very reasonable to me.
Being able to do this is one of the good things about free(dom)
software.

However you have written to the coreutils mailing list.  The coreutils
project is concerned with the basic utilities of the operating system.
That means commands such as cp, mv, rm, and many others.  But you are
asking about how to configure your desktop environment.  I am sorry
but this is the wrong mailing list for that type of question.  We
don't know much about desktop environments here.

I suggest looking up one of the mailing lists associated with your
desktop.  I am not very familiar with LXDE but I would start here.

  http://lxde.org/join_lxde_community

Unfortunately I don't immediately see a user community mailing list.
But there are other options there such as IRC that would probably
help.

That seems reasonable to me given your environment.

That seems very reasonable to me.  I think you should do as you
suggest.  You should create a .desktop file that launces your web
browser using that set of command options.  Sounds good!  :-)

I think you are asking what should go into such a file.  If I knew I
would be happy to suggest something.  But I don't.  Try asking on one
of the LXDE community lists or web forums or irc and I am sure someone
will help you.  The .desktop file conforms to freedesktop.org and
looking at the freedesktop.org site might help too.  If you don't find
something in the lxde community try looking in the larger
freedesktop.org community.
