[openbox] Chromium Browser - xdg issue

[Robert Orzanna]

Hello,

I struggle for days to define Chromium properly as my default browser for xdg.

The basic problem:

xdg-open http://google.com opens a new chromium window.

However, when I want to open links, say from zim
(http://localhost:8080) or thunar-dropbox (view on dropbox site)
nothing happens.

I tried several things, created a defaults.list, exported the DE and
BROWSER variable and configured exo-open but none of the things work.

I discussed this problem also here [1] where you can find more information.

Also I came across this mailing list post [2] where a similar problem
was posted. However, adding export BROWSER=exo-open or
chromium-browser did not change anything.

I hope you guys can help me out. It is really frustrating.

Regards,

Robert.
