> xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/ssh
> org.remmina.Remmina.desktop

which is what I want, but

> xdg-open ssh://user@host

invokes Thunar.

ssh is just the connection type Remmina uses to connect to the server. I don't think it will work as you expect. I'm not sure about this as it's not something I use. You could try and tell Remmina how and where to connect instead.

remmina -c ssh://user@server

It used to work in previous Xfce versions on Bullseye and it still works just fine today if I switch to, say, LXQt.

But now, when I use the handle 'ssh://', Thunar is summoned instead of the program set as default for 'x-scheme-handler/ssh'.

It's not a Remmina problem: it looks like xfce4/stable 4.18 ignores my requests for the URL scheme I set for SSH via xdg-mime and proceeds to invoke whichever file manager is set as default (same happens with, say, Nautilus).

How do I tell Xfce I want to open ssh:// URLs with a given program?

Thanks

I think you're onto something. I just tested gnome and it works (gnome uses gio open). Xfce 4.18 doesn't work (it uses exo-open). However, it does work on Xfce 4.16. I think you've uncovered an exo bug. Please file it here.
