Gnome bug was migrated to Gitlab (over at
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/54 ) and the bug number
changed as a result. Currently the close bug (due to being migrated)
seems to result in it being set expired all the time.

I'm also suffering from this bug, so here's some workarounds I've found
on the Internet.
SO suggests the following workarounds:
* gtk-launch foo opens foo.desktop
* exo-open [[path-to-a-desktop-file]...]
* hashbang: #!/usr/bin/env deskopen
* dex foo.desktop

A very annoying bug, and *Still* not fixed.

This is still a bug in December 2016.
Tested in Gnome on 16.04.
Commercial programmes and Wine programmes install .desktop files.And
they just end up opening gedit.
I've noticed this bug for years but only reported it now.

re: comment #15
In Kubuntu 16.04, xdg-open is a bash script that determines your desktop
environment (starting with the value of $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP) and calls
the file opener for that desktop. For XFCE that appears to be exo-open.
So run exo-open in debug mode to see what's going on.

I just noticed that kioclient exec desktop file executes desktop files just
fine. So at least for KDE users there is finally a solution for this issue.
I would prefer a standard (desktop agnostic) solution though.
