I'll take a look at Matthieu's patch, and see how other GNOME 
applications handle this issue.

xdg-open is no longer used. It was used for the $view placeholder in the 
build tools, but $view is deprecated now, there is normally a warning in 
the terminal if $view is still used.

Instead, the gtk_show_uri() function is used, which is the preferred way 
to open files. I use Xfce, and when Nautilus is installed it still works 
correctly (with Fedora 17).

Does the bug occur with gtk_show_uri() too?
