[PATCH] open_generic in xdg-open fails for filenames containing a ':' in the CWD

Submitted by raboof

open_generic in xdg-open checks whether the argument is a file (rather than a URI) with:

if (echo "$1" | grep -q '^file://' ||
    ! echo "$1" | egrep -q '^[a-zA-Z+\.\-]+:'); then

This fails when the file is in the CWD and called something like 'foo:bar.png'.

A more reliable check would be:

if (echo "$1" | grep -q '^file://' ||
    test -e "$1"); then
