Title:
  xdg-settings assumes desktop files have exactly one Exec line

Status in Xdg-utils:
  Confirmed
Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  In searching the desktop file for suitability, it scans for all lines
  that begin "Exec", and takes the result and packs it into a variable.

  If there is exactly one Exec line, this takes out a command name to
  test for existence, but when more than one matches, the program name
  is captured as "firstexecprog\nsecondexecprog\nthirdexecprog", and
  "which" doesn't know how to look up a program like that and the
  subsequent tests fail.
