Package: xdg-utils
Version: 1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-7.4
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Hello.
I stumbled upon a problem, which occurs when xdg-open tries to run a
desktop file that has multiple exec strings (i.e. for suboptions for
unity, like palemoon package has, I've attached the desktop file).
After some time digging through the code of xdg-open, I found out that
it greps for the all Exec strings in the desktop file. Apparently, this
is a bad idea, since 2nd and all next appearances of Exec options just
become arguments for the first one.
That's why I limited search results for the first occurence of Exec,
that must be the main one. See the attached patch for xdg-open. After
applying the patch, everything seems to work fine.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Thank you for the patch!
The latest version of the xdg-open utility uses a get_key function to
parse .desktop files. And I hope your problem has been solved in a
little bit better way. But because the issue is not reproducible on the
package that available in the Debian archive, I've closing the bug.
