xdg-open handles file-URIs wrong in LXDE

[Flups Baumann]

This regards xdg-open when it is used in LXDE.

When xdg-open is called with a file URI that contains special chars like %20, this URIs are handled wrong. E.g. I have a file in my home dir that is named "test file.pdf". xdg-open is called with:

xdg-open file:///home/flups/test%20file.pdf

The subroutine open_lxde splits the "file://" from the URI but does not treat the %20, so it tries to open the file:

/home/flups/test%20file.pdf

and this cannot work.

See attached to log that I created with sh -xv.

As a workaround I added the following two lines after line 480:

local printf=/usr/bin/printf
file="$($printf "$(echo "$file" | sed -e 's@%\([a-f0-9A-F]\{2\}\)@\\x\1@g')")"

I took this code from the subroutine open_generic().
