I can also confirm this in Ubuntu 9.04. Here is yet another workaround. After compiling the attached code using " gcc OpenUrlFile.c -o OpenUrlFile.out ", I associate it with these files by right clicking on a *.url file with Properties->Open With->Add->Use a custom command. I then browse to OpenUrlFile.out before selecting it in the Open With tab.
