'desktop' entries do not open any more

See original GitHub issue

I was running 56b9f6f for some time now and recently started pulling the new versions. I noticed desktop entries were not working any more; they just do not open.

I did a bisect, which points to 5aeafa3f9f3cb4665a23d56b2a908afca1c48ef2 :

5aeafa3f9f3cb4665a23d56b2a908afca1c48ef2 is the first bad commit

+1 Seem to work now ( though strangely gedit does not work, all of the other tested .desktop entries work)

The entry is fairly complicated, and only one is not working: Exec=gedit %U

Assuming this problem has been solved. Create a new issue if this is not the case.
