Make launching spotify links from the browser work again in Natty 11.04

New distribution means new bugs, right?

Natty 11.04 broke the URI passing, disabling the possibility to launch spotify links from the browser.

Replace your spotify.desktop file in:
/usr/share/applications
with:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Spotify
GenericName=Spotify
Comment=Listen to music using Spotify
Icon=spotify-linux-512x512
TryExec=spotify
Exec=spotify -uri %u ""
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/spotify;
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Qt;AudioVideo

to make it work again.

Oh, you do need to update the database by issuing:

sudo update-desktop-database

afterwards.
