Bug Description

When I execute "xdg-open" from the command line on a C++ source file that file gets opened in a new instance of qtcreator, even if one is already running. It might make sense to open the file in an existing instance ("qtcreator -client"). Feel free to close this as "won't fix" if you disagree.

The desktop-file-utils will set the ubuntusdk.desktop to be the default handler for the text/x-c++hdr, text/x-c++src and text/x-xsrc, types in the /usr/share/applications/defaults.list

Additionally the ubuntusdk.desktop file's exec line is extended with the -client parameter to open the edited files in anexisting instance of the QtCreator.
