Hi. Recently, in addition to Gnome I installed xfce.
Now, if firefox already started, and I open URLs in wine, I get this message
box:
******************
Failed to execute default Web Browser.
No child processes.
******************
$ ps -Af
/usr/lib/xfce4/exo-1/exo-helper-1 --launch WebBrowser http://www.winehq.org/

With trial and error I found that the package exo is causing this.
http://www.xfce.org/projects/exo

To reproduce, install just exo package and do:
$ wine start http://www.winehq.org/

It's only in wine. For example, xdg-open works fine.

Window manager Gnome 2, default browser firefox. Wine 1.3.14-1.3.19
exo 0.6.0
