+# gio is the replacement for xdg-open in gnome (and gtk) applications,
+# including for instance Firefox. It makes two problems:
+# First, it searches for terminals in a fixed list (which does not
+# include lxterminal)
+# Second, it will not use the configuration that was set using pcmanfm.
+
+# This unwrapper will be called by gio (in place of gio-launch-desktop)
+# thanks to the GIO_LAUNCH_DESKTOP variable, will try to find the opened
+# file in the arguments, and use xdg-open to open it (beware, xdg-open
+# might reuse gio in turn to open the file, for instance in gnome
+# environments)
