Bug#648534: exo-utils: no indication of how to change applications opens with eco-open in manpage

Package: exo-utils
Version: 0.6.2-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I just switch from gnome to xfce and I'm trying to configure the xfce
desktop. Looking at the default launchers, I quickly see their are using
exo-open. As it did not open my prefered application, I look into the manpage
how to change that. But there is nothing in exo-open(1) about how to select
which applications are launched by exo-open, not even a reference to
exo-preferred-applications (that I found by a quick research in google)
in a "See Also" section...

Regards,
Vincent

Good point. Note that “preferred applications” are present in the
settings manager an in the settings submenu of the application menu.
