Works like a charm here. And fast as hell. I'm seeing forward to more
of this D-BUS stuff, hehe. exo-open makes lots of things possible, e.g.
for my command line plugin "Verve" (which uses it in order to launch
URLs and eMail addresses by now). I could imagine enhancing it to also
open non-executable files via exo-open, so that almost everything you
type into it is handled in some way.

Thanks for this nice work,
Jannis
