`xdg-open test.txt` uses `less` instead of configured application

[Paul Menzel]

Dear freedesktop.org folks,


using Debian Sid/unstable, trying to configure how to open files, I am
having some problems.

        $ xdg-mime --version
        xdg-mime 1.1.0 rc1
        $ xdg-mime query default text/plain
        /usr/share/applications/gedit.desktop
        $ echo text > test.txt
        $ xdg-mime query filetype test.txt 
        text/plain
        $ grep 'text/plain' ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list 
        text/plain=/usr/share/applications/gedit.desktop
        $ xdg-open test.txt # opens with `less` instead of Gedit

So instead of opening it with the configured Gedit, it is opened with
the pager `less`.


Thanks,

Paul
