[issue41005] Permission denied: 'xdg-settings' when executing 'jupyter notebook' from command line

I've commented on the attached PR.

IMHO a correct fix is to catch and ignore PermissionError when calling xdg-settings (on all platforms). An xdg-settings executable that cannot be started due to permission problems is similar to that executable not being available at all.
