KeepassXc just uses QDesktopServices::openUrl here

This seems like an issue in Qt 5.15, seems to be resolved in 6.6.

An easy way to repro this issue is:

flatpak run --command=python --socket=x11 --filesystem=$(pwd) com.riverbankcomputing.PyQt.BaseApp//6.6 test.py which shows the this dialogue

but flatpak run --command=python --socket=x11 --filesystem=$(pwd) com.riverbankcomputing.PyQt.BaseApp//5.15-23.08 test.py shows nothing even though it returns True

from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication
from PyQt6.QtCore import QUrl
from PyQt6.QtGui import QDesktopServices

app = QApplication([])
QDesktopServices.openUrl(QUrl("file:///app/share/metainfo/com.riverbankcomputing.PyQt.BaseApp.metainfo.xml"))

(Change the imports to Qt5 when needed)

My guess is some flatpak support is missing or broken in Qt 5.15.

We are moving to Qt 6 for our 2.8.0 release and this should be resolved at that time
