I'm not at the Linux box atm, but does someone want to fix the xfhelp4
script to correctly use the default browser now that this is possible? I
don't know who else may have requested it, but this is one of the main
reasons I asked for this feature a while back.
For what it's worth, this also makes putting document icons on the
desktop much easier.
