Current version of xdg-utils fails with desktop files, which contain multiple arguments, for example, okular: Exec=okular %U %i -caption %c xdg-open test.pdf Okular starts, and presents error message "Can not open file /home/user/test.pdf --icon 'okular' -caption 'Okular'" This is happening due to misguided fix for CVE-2014-9622, which escapes whole argument list, instead of individual arguments. Newer version (something after 2015-04-13) should work, so I request a version bump. Reproducible: Always
