Description:
I use qtransmission as the only torrent client on my system.
But when I click in Firefox on a magnet link, qtransmission is not started, because "magnet" is not associated with any program.

Easy fix:
Modify "MimeType=application/x-bittorrent;" to "MimeType=application/x-bittorrent;x-scheme-handler/magnet;" in '/usr/share/applications/transmission-qt.desktop'
as suggested here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/44849/how-to-configure-chrome-to-open-magnet-urls-with-deluge/45984#45984


Additional info:

* package version(s)
- transmission-qt 2.42-2

* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce:
- Install transmission-qt as the only torrent client
- click on a magnet link on Firefox
This task depends upon

The fix I posted seems to not work for me on razor-qt, it only opens a new instance of qtransmission without adding the magnet...
