I've just discovered that xdg-open is not detecting xfce as the desktop,
at this line:

elif xprop -root _DT_SAVE_MODE 2> /dev/null | grep ' = \"xfce4\"$'
>/dev/null 2>&1; then DE=xfce;

As it doesn't detect the desktop, it uses open_generic_xdg_mime() which
indeed picks up only the first word from Exec= in the desktop file. If
the desktop were detected as xfce, it would have called exo-open which
correctly uses the full Exec= command line. That's why Thunar was using
the desktop file correctly because quite certainly it calls exo-open.

Title:
  xdg-open doesn't use desktop file to open image/jpeg files

Status in “xdg-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  xdg-open is not using the appropriate desktop file to open files with
  mimetype image/jpeg. Here's what it should use in my installation:

  paulo@monk:~$ xdg-mime query default image/jpeg
  geeqie.desktop

  and here's the relevant section from
  /usr/share/applications/geeqie.desktop:

  paulo@monk:~$ grep -i exec /usr/share/applications/geeqie.desktop 
  Exec=geeqie -r %F

  I confirmed that there was no local geeqie.desktop:

  paulo@monk:~$ ls ~/.local/share/applications/ | grep geeqie.desktop
  paulo@monk:~$ 

  However, I can see xdg-open is opening image/jpeg files by running:

  geeqie %F

  because geeqie doesn't dettach itself from the terminal, and this is
  the message it shows on the terminal:

  paulo@monk:~/foto$ xdg-open 1ª\ comunhã.jpg
  Could not init LIRC support

  I can also see that Thunar uses the correct desktop file: if I click
  on a jpeg file inside Thunar, geeqie is started and dettaches itself,
  and the upstart log confirms that the geeqie.desktop Exec line was
  indeed called:

  paulo@monk:~$ grep -i geeqie ~/.cache/upstart/startxfce4.log
  Remote Geeqie not running, starting...Could not init LIRC support
