xdg-open: expand %[fFuU] as full path

While trying to setup urxvt as inode/directory handler (Exec=urxvt -cd %f) I
noticed that the %f field code may be expanded as a relative path, causing
urxvt to fail.

In wider terms, some applications could have problems dealing with relative
paths, while absolute paths should be "safe" for anything.

I can't foresee any issue introduced by the attached diff, but any comment is
welcome.
