Bug Description

On creating a new QML project, the Exec line in appname.desktop is set to

Exec=qmlscene "$@" Main.qml

This is incorrect. $@ is a Bash parameter substitution, and will not be executed. Instead, Exec lines must use field codes, as per http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#exec-variables, so this line should perhaps be

Exec=qmlscene %U Main.qml

so that URLs passed to the app (for example, from the URLDispatcher) are correctly put on the app's command line and so are retrieveable by the app itself.
