Title:
  Opening of magnet links broken

Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  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.
