There is no point doing this now with the current implementation of
`browse-url-default-browser' where one of the first things it does
is to try to use `browse-url-xdg-open', so perhaps no one might want
to customize it to `browse-url-xdg-open'. I proposed to add it just
for completeness. But there is no urgent need to do this and anyway,
this bug report is already closed :)
