Public bug reported:
The script /usr/bin/gvfs-info uses two bash features:
1. "==" is used for string comparison instead of "="
2. "$@:2" is used instead of "shift" and then "$@" to expand all but the first
argument.
I have found this bug using xdg-open to open a PDF file from the command
line. xdg-open executes "gvfs-info --help" to check the environment, but
this command fails because of the problems described.
The attached patch fixes the problem for me.
