Actually, there are already bug-reports on xdg-utils for this, also
mentioning emacsclient.desktop explicitely:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/-/issues/236
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/-/issues/174

Should we close this very bug or should we implement a work-around?
E.g we could stop using a complex, nested invokation of sh, and instead
just execute emacsclient with some arguments, without any need for
quoting, as I mentioned.
Altenatively, we could ship an executable.sh which invokes emacsclient
appropriately. [1] But the quoting of Exec= lines in .desktop-files is
just flawed right now.
[1] As suggested here: "The quicker fix will probably be having a script
somewhere in the filesystem that handles that logic."
