ghm, vlc uses "vlc %U" in its desktop file, where %U means "a list of url's" in desktop file spec.

so i guess there isn't an easy solution here:
 * making Exec in .desktop "vlc %F" (%F - list of files) will make vlc not handle http://, ftp://, etc. urls, which it can handle properly
 * adding plugin to vlc for gvfs which is enabled by default in gnome environment would be a preferrable solution, but i don't know how hard it is to detect that we have gvfs available in vlc code..
