Bug Description
xdg-open internaly uses "gvfs-open --help" to check if gvfs-open is present and functional, but gvfs-open is deprecated in new gnome (3.25.90) and "gvfs-open --help" returns with error code = 1.
gvfs-open still can be used to open files and urls, new way to open associated files is "gio open ARG".
