I don’t experience it on Fedora, but I notice that the Fedora version of xdg-utils carries an awful lot of patches (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xdg-utils/tree/f38).
I agree that the quoting is too complex, and would be better eliminated. A wrapper script could achieve the same functionality.
While I’m here, I’ll mention the other emacsclient.desktop issues that I’m aware of:
- Startup notification doesn’t work when opening files in an existing Emacs: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=49504
- $DISPLAY is inappropriate for PGTK on Wayland, since it forces XWayland.
- emacsclient.desktop provides a superset of the functionality of emacs.desktop, but can’t replace it because there isn’t agreement that use of a daemon is suitable default behaviour.
