Bug Description

Clementine is not listed in the default media applications (right click > properties > open with)
The reason seems to be a wrong Exec= line in the desktop file:
Exec=clementine

This line should be:
Exec=clementine %U

The solution was found, documented and tested by several ubuntu forum
members: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1889949#8

Reported upstream.

P.S. The bug is really minor - you could skip it and not include it in 12.04 :)

Looks good. We've already diverged from Debian, and this has been applied upstream. So we might as well grab it for precise.

Thanks for your work!
