[Qt-creator] Qt Creator 1.3 "Show containing folder" failed xdg-open

[Ed Sutton]

Hi Daniel,

Thank you very much for helping the clueless and pointing me to the RPM package name.  

I Googled and found xdg-utils-1.0.2-2.el5.noarch.rpm  and after installing the QT "Show containing folder" feature works great!  The xdg-utils package is not included in RHEL 5.2 or 5.3, I only find xdg-user-dirs - 0.10-1.el5.rf.i386

Thank you for your help! Adam too.

-Ed
