Public bug reported:
On our standard desktop product with unity7, url-dispatcher does not
work.
It would be nice if it did, as we start having pieces of Touch come over
to the desktop, convergence style.
For example, unity8-greeter has support for opening apps inside the
session (via launcher or indicators). It uses a combination of a system
daemon and url-dispatcher (inside the session) to do this. But this
doesn't work on unity7.
In this case, I could patch unity8-greeter to do something different for
unity7, but it seems like it would be nicer to make url-dispatcher a
little more general.
If it's not in a Touch environment, the url-dispatcher service could
just launch xdg-open for each URL it gets.
