2 minutes research suggest that I cannot tell xdg-open to use another
backend other than through environment variables, viz. BROWSER, DE,
DESKTOP_SESSION. Unfortunately, I was not able to make this work by just
setting the DESKTOP_SESSION in either the shell starting Emacs or via
setenv.
So I guess on could use an xdg-open alternative or hardcode programs in
mailcap...
