the bugfix version include the needed change has been uploaded to wily
and vivid (waiting for review)

** Description changed:

+ * Impact
+ some urls are not correctly handled
+ 
+ * Test case
+ $ xdg-open "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:9BE2..."
+ 
+ that should open a working dialog and not an error one
+ 
+ * Regression potential
+ check that the desktop handling of urls is correct (using xdg-open or click 
on e.g in website handlers in about dialogs)
+ 
+ ---------------
+ 
  When clicking on a magnet link, transmission-remote-gtk always displays
  the error "invalid or corrupt torrent file".  This seems to be caused by
  xdg-open slightly modifying the link:
  
  $ xdg-open "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:9BE2..."
  
  results in
  
  $ transmission-remote-gtk "magnet:///?xt=urn:btih:9BE2..."
  
  which causes the problem mentioned.
  
  I'm using transmission-remote-gtk 1.1.1-1 from vivid.
