I haven't really looked into this in detail but my guess is this is the Linux v4l2convert.so that is LD_PRELOAD'ed into skype for the benefit of cameras not able to provida yuv video. So I guess we'd need to prepend a wrapper for xdg-open to PATH that resets LD_PRELOAD before executing the real /usr/local/bin/xdg-open . (And btw I had to do something similar for google earth which sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH, see /usr/ports/astro/google-earth/files/browserwrapper and /usr/ports/astro/google-earth/files/patch-bin-googleearth .) Hm or should the xdg-utils port be patched to just unset LD_PRELOAD uncondtionally? I'll Cc gnome@ which is listed as maintainer for that port... Cheers, Juergen
