hehe ok - me need learn english ;)

OK, it's somewhat strange on my system - now gnome is installed,
everything is fine, but now, gnome-open and xdg-open, both open
.deskop files with the preferred text editor - this scares me a little
bit.

On the other hand, I can now run commands based on the .desktop file
only. However, if xdg-open is there it is used.
