Title:
  gnome-open: doesn't handle .desktop files properly

Status in “libgnome” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  If you run "gnome-open whatever.desktop" it opens gedit showing you
  the textual content of the .desktop file.  I expected it to open the
  appropriate application for the .desktop file, exactly as if you'd
  double clicked on it in nautilus.  For example "gnome-open
  /usr/share/applications/users.desktop" should run "users-admin" (as
  specified by the Exec line), and a .desktop file containing a
  "URL=http://blah"; line should open a web browser.

  Found in libgnome2-0 version 2.32.0-0ubuntu1 (from 10.10).
