Bug#515104: Proposed implementation of a xdg-launch utility

[Daniel Ruoso]

As part of the solution, here goes an implementation of a xdg-launch
utility that would be used as shbang of the .desktop files.

That way, we could simply remove any special treatment of .desktop files
launching from nautilus, just making it execute it as a regular
executable file.

Then it can add a mime handler for the .desktop files so a properties
dialog is shown when a non-executable .desktop is clicked.
