Fixed protocol handler registration on linux (at least ubuntu)

[Postremus]

Tested on Ubuntu 14.04
-If we have no existing mimeapps.list, create it
-start ckan with mono
-make the .desktop file executable
-correctly resolve the home Directory
-focus the mod we got in the modlist
related to #1433

Does not work for me here on Arch Linux. I don't get a desktop file and it's not added to mimeapps.list. How do I enable logging?

[Postremus]

logging can only be activated with the Cmdline.exe, which will then start the gui:
Cmdline.exe --verbose
or
Cmdline.exe --debug

3927 [1] INFO CKAN.URLHandlers (null) - Skipping URL handler: Parsing Error: Could not parse file ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

My mimeapps.list: https://sr.ht/Xz8G.txt

👍 works for me, I just made a mistake when testing it.

Just checking if f81069e is intentionally or accidentally on this branch. :)

[Postremus]

intentionally, because it also replaces some part of the url handler code.

@Postremus : Oh! That makes sense to me now. :) In the process of testing. :)

This works for me as well! Although if I've already got the CKAN open, then clicking on a ckan:// link means I then have two (as opposed to the original being signalled somehow to change its focus).

Still, that's way better than what we had before, so I'm giving the code another glance over and then merging. Thank you very much! :)
