Inside a desktop environment (e.g. GNOME, KDE, Xfce), xdg-open
passes the arguments to that desktop environment's file-opener
application (gvfs-open, kde-open, or exo-open, respectively).
When no desktop environment is detected (e.g. using Openbox), 
xdg-open will use its own configuration files, emacsclient.desktop 
is the call to the emacs server, if you do not use the server you 
could use emacs.desktop instead.

Best,
