Thanks for this analysis, this could mean the problem has been
introduced by the recent update to xdg-utils. I need to check if it's
calibre usage of those causing problems or if it's xdg-utils fault really.

I personally have little use for those too, not using any major desktop
environment, but the port includes such functionality, at most an option
to exclude it could be added, but I don't see the point really.

Anyway just allow me a little time to properly diagnose this and test
the eventual fix.
