Do UNIX variants support XDG desktop entries and MIME handlers?
+Emacs 30.1+ now has ~emacsclient.desktop~ configured to handle Org Protocol URL requests. For users with older versions of Emacs, refer to [[*Legacy Scheme Handler Install][Legacy Scheme Handler Install]].
Unfortunately it is not true. It is supposed to work since 29.2, but actually it works only in no-DE variant with not really new xdg-open (OK, I have not tried GNOME, but I hope it is broken there as well).
The reason is %F (file) substitution in emacsclient.desktop. It must be %U for URLs.
So users have to create and install their own .desktop files. Discussion in <https://debbugs.gnu.org/74467> "31.0.50; org-protocol emacsclient.desktop change is not fully functional" is not looking encouraging.
