Package: transmission-gtk Version: 2.82-1.1 Severity: normal While trying to figure why magnet links don't work in my desktop, I've found what I think is a mistake in the packaging:
$ cat /usr/share/gconf/defaults/10_transmission-gtk /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/transmission-gtk/command "/usr/bin/transmission-gtk %s" /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/transmission-gtk/enabled true /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/transmission-gtk/needs_terminal false So, this file is creating a default value in gconf for the 'transmission-gtk' schema, but that should be the 'magnet' schema, so URIs of the form 'magnet:.*' can be handled; unless this was intended for something else. In any case, currently gvfs-open seems to be able to open magnet links without checking gconf2. Strace suggests it is scanning the .desktop files for x-scheme-handler/magnet mimetype. $ sudo rm /usr/share/gconf/defaults/10_transmission-gtk $ sudo update-gconf-defaults --no-signal $ sudo kill -s HUP `pidof gconfd-2` $ gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/transmission-gtk/command No value set for `/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/transmission-gtk/command' $ gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/command No value set for `/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/command' $ gvfs-open 'magnet:?xt=....'
