Public bug reported:

when executing xdg-open "magnet:?...

xdg-open detects XFCE display manager and calls exo-open "$1" witch is
not capable to handle magnets at all.

should it call gnome-open with xubuntu?

quick fix:

edit /usr/bin/xdg-open and change
if [ x"$DE" = x"" ]; then
    DE=generic
fi

to
if [ x"$DE" = x"" ]; then
    DE=generic
fi
DE=gnome
