Title:
  Automatic crash report bug reports opened in gedit rather than the
  browser

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If a crash report is triggered automatically (say from a program crash
  etc) then the Apport UI pops up asking whether to report this - if I
  choose to proceed, after about 30 seconds gedit pops up with a HTML
  document showing 'OpenID transaction in progress' - which is the
  login.launchpad.net openid page. Looking at the gedit document title
  this shows the URL which should have got loaded by firefox - and so it
  appears that gedit has been spawned instead of firefox to handle the
  xdg-open call to report the bug.

  From journalctl I can see that it is root spawning this xdg-open call:

  Feb 11 13:06:24 slate sudo[266010]:     root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/root
  ; USER=amurray ;
  ENV=DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus ;
  COMMAND=/usr/bin/xdg-open https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
  /dleyna-core/+filebug/4bc4c494-4c77-11ea-b34a-
  002481e7f48a?field.title=package+libdleyna-
  core-1.0-5+%28not+installed%29+failed+to+install%2Fupgrade%3A+trying+to+overwrite+%27%2Fusr%2Flib%2Fx86_64
  -linux-gnu%2Flibdleyna-
  core-1.0.so.5.0.0%27%2C+which+is+also+in+package+libdleyna-
  core-1.0-3%3Aamd64+0.6.0-1

  And so I wonder if it is something to do with root's configuration for
  preferred applications (or not...)

  This does not occur when running ubuntu-bug from a terminal (since I
  assume in this case, the xdg-open call ends up coming from the users'
  own session).
