Title:
  Opening of magnet links broken

Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gvfs source package in Vivid:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  * 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.
