This command should be used in xdg-open, too. When running under GNOME, xdg-open simply calls gvfs-open to open the file. gvfs-open, in turn, reads the desktop file for Totem (/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Totem.desktop) which specifies that the command to be run is "totem %U". So, if you want this changed, the change should be done in the totem package. Reassigning. -- Pelle
