#!/usr/bin/env bash

# ShellScript 
# - to detect a desktop and their native
#   File/WebBrowser such as Konqueror (KDE) or Nautilus/Epiphany (Gnome)
# Or 
# - to detect a browser from the mozilla family
# The first prefered one will open the given $1 document
# which should be a web url (http://host.domain.com/path/index.html) or a 
# local file like file:///local/folder/document.html
# Note: Tested on SuSE, Fedora an Mandriva Linux and Solaris 9 with kde, gnome or a mozilla installed
