Looks fine, right? But clicking on a link in Evolution opens Firefox. So my question is, if xdg-settings is meant to be the solution to DE incompatibility issues, why does this not work?
I can add to your confusion :-).
Here's the info I dug up the last time I tried to figure out default apps:

Of course that was a few years ago, and since this is open source we are talking about, everything has probably been re-written 5 times since then.
I noticed xdg-open stopped working on directories also (using F25). I frequently use "xdg-open ." from gnome-terminal when I want to do something which is faster in the GUI than from the CLI, and I've had to switch to "nautilus ."; I wonder if this is related?
