Description:
mupdf.desktop as shipped upstream tries to execute mupdf-select-file, which is not installed by the Arch mupdf package.
It is a simple bash script located in platform/debian, but without it the .desktop entry will simply not work because the command it tries to execute does not exist.

Solution is either to install mupdf-select-file as well or patch .desktop to run mupdf_x11 directly.

Also, why is mupdf installed as mupdf_x11?

Additional info:
mupdf 1.3-1
This task depends upon

Instead of building and installing mupdf as mupdf-x11, please compile with `make CURL_LIBS='-lcurl -lpthread'`; this builds mupdf-curl which has more features than mupdf-x11. Then I recommend to simply install mupdf-curl as /usr/bin/mupdf.

1.3-2 does not fix this. The .desktop is still broken. -2 only makes the binary mupdf.
