Bug Description
[Original report]
Mumble can handle URL's in the form "mumble://... ", this protocol type is registered on Windows, and some sites use a web link to open mumble and connect to their servers. I have verified that Mumble on Ubuntu can accept these URL's but the browser does not know what binary to pass them to.
I have met at least one user who believed that Mumble did not work on Ubuntu becuase he was unable to click on the voice chat link on a website.
This is a trivial fix, but certainly seems worthwhile.
[Test Case]
Launch a mumble:// test URL from the shell:
$ xdg-open mumble:
xdg-open will complain about not knowing how to handle the URL. After the patch, it will launch mumble and try to connect to the requested server.
[Regression Potential]
Affectation to Mumble desktop launcher and ability to launch mumble from menu.
