Or simply PCx -> sanitized_helper ?

It would be a little better if thunderbird/firefox used xdg-open, instead opening directly:

xdg-open Cxr -> sanitized_helper,

Although it does not control what xdg-open itself can launch.

For example, Dragon player launches browser (for http://) or email client (for mailto:) using xdg-open from it's About dialog.

It would be enough to include `abstractions/ubuntu-browsers` and `abstractions/ubuntu-email`, but abstractions use sanitized_helper, so using alternative "fix" `xdg-open Cxr -> sanitized_helper` within `usr.bin.dragon` would allow to open much more. Although at least programs that has it's profile would run under it...

Anyway, thunderbird/firefox doesn't use xdg-open, and PCx not gonna happen overnight, so... that's bad :) .
