patch for xdg-utils

The latest commit 781023ef997bac433dbc258bd5cfdc1366f2ffa4 not only bumps the
version but also adds a "t" letter breaking syntax. xdg-open uses bashism for
years (introduced in commit ba265f969b9061d221915c2528122c44a85ad7c2) and it
breaks multigroup desktop files, actually (easily verified with Google Chrome,
sed shows an error because 'localised_name' var receives 3 lines and thus the
sed command isn't terminated properly). One of the cases there is [*), and
while it works in bash, dash uses “[” as a meta-character. I've quoted it to
make it work.
