XFCE (and LXDE) uses exo-open. Although it does not require xdg-open,
it is compliant. Meaning, if xdg-utils is installed, xdg-open will
work. Gnome, KDE, on the other hand require it on most distributions
(Fedora is an example).

Exactly! Since you look for the executable before calling, there is
nothing to lose. If xdg-open is present, it will work if there is a
GUI.
Cheers,
PS: I'm an XFCE (with xdg-utils) and emacs -nw user on Fedora.

Open source is the future. It sets us free.
