desura used to bundle all xdg tools in the binary distribution. But we want to use the system wide installed ones

fixes #531

NOTE: fe8ff527c36ece7384a0329470e3e0932bcc8c63 and 828541ab52122eef548a3d76048d7c4e400bf076 are candidates for the stable branch

Don't forget to check if xdg-utils are installed.

karolherbst commented 11 years ago

I am sure, that xdg-utils is one of the packages which is installed on any desktop distributions. Also if xdg-open and gnome-open is failing, desurium will print an error.
