Bug Description

Zim uses special desktop entry files internally. The code parsing them cannot handle absolute paths for the try/exec keys.

Not a big deal, but the xdg-open equivalent on Mac is just /usr/bin/open, and something of that name may well occur in the PATH of some Linux installation.

Fix: have the _lookup method not prepend PATH if cmd already starts with a slash.
