Since most desktop environments at least pay lipservice to the xdg 
interface utilities, I'm not sure whether having an automatic fallback 
is advisable or valid.

If xdg-open fails, then I think I'd argue that a bug-report dialogue 
should be presented, and only after the user has responded to that 
should "heuristics" be applied.

The next obvious question is whether there's a component to raise a bug 
with the current desktop's developers.
