[Bug 223989] Re: wine: incorrect "Browse C:\ Drive" launcher

[skierpage]

Please reopen this bug, the fix breaks Kubuntu 9.04 as reported in
Ubuntu question #70652.

The fix in comment #10
 - remove $HOME in Exec=xdg-open .wine/dosdevices/c:
leads Kubuntu to fail with 
 The file or folder file:///home/<MyUserName>/Documents/.wine/dosdevices/c: does not exist.

The behavior of xdg-open given a relative path is unspecified. Kubuntu
winds up opening
KUrl("file:///home/<MyUserName>/Documents/.wine/dosdevices/c:") -- note
"Documents" in the path -- and thus fails.

Reverting /usr/share/applications/wine-browsedrive.desktop to
 Exec=xdg-open $HOME/.wine/dosdevices/c:
fixes Kubuntu.  That feels like the right fix to me but it sounds as if it will once again break Gnome desktops.  

The Portland project XDG spec at freedesktop.org don't say what shell
expansions should work or what the final path should be for a relative
path in Exec=xdg-open; the XDG spec has to specify one or the other in
order to determine the right fix for this bug.
