One issue is that you don't have gvfs-bin installed. Try installing it
and I'm sure xdg-open will work again. The Cinnamon packages really
should depend on it, like GNOME and MATE do.

The reason that it stopped working in the new version is (I think) that
I changed xdg-open to not try gnome-open when running under Cinnamon, as
gnome-open is obsolete and GNOME 2 only. Perhaps that was a mistake.

Still, the fallback generic mode should have worked. Apparently there is
no fallback code for the GNOME/Cinnamon mode in xdg-mime. I'll have to
fix that.
