[gentoo-user] [OT Xfce4/KDE] A URL aware applet

[Harry Putnam]

I once was a KDE desktop user... Lasted quite a while.  But over time
I went to Xfce4.... Been using it now a good while, but one applet
from KDE is sorely missed.  

There was some kind of panel applet, that was URL aware.  Any time you
highlighted text that looked like some kind of URL, a dialog window would
open and offer to open it with whatever application normally opened
such a URL.  

You might highlight a URL in a man page, text file, or even in the
scrollback buffer and the dialog would be right there offering to open
it. 

I wondered if there is anything like that for Xfce and if anyone knows
what that applet it?

I am awaiting an answer from Xfce user list on the same question.
