No, I think it would be a security risk if xdg-open supported that. xdg-open is often used by browsers to open downloaded files, and in that case would execute arbitrary code when invoked on a desktop file. Usually, xdg-open invokes some other tool to actually open a file. For example, it invokes gvfs-open if you are running Gnome. In the past, these tools might have supported opening desktop files. And some might still do (which is a bug, in that case). -- Pelle -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
