Title:
  xdg-open *.desktop opens text editor

Status in GVFS:
  Confirmed
Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xdg-utils

  In order to reproduce it execute "xdg-open *.desktop" (choose any
  .desktop file, e.g. one from /usr/share/applications). Actually your
  favorite text editor will open the file. Expected result: It'll be
  executed.

  Because of this bug, desktop entries with the new "#!/usr/bin/env xdg-
  open" shebang feature were opened in the text editor when executed
  from command line.
