file demonstrating the problem

open this file with gedit and notice the MIME type it detects (by hovering the tab with mouse pointer). Alternatively have nautilus show the file properties.

Note that gnomevfs-info seems to report this correctly
Comment 2 Luca Cavalli 2006-02-18 23:17:04 UTC 
With gnome-vfs 2.12.2 the file is correctly identified as text/x-tex both by gnomevfs-info and gedit or nautilus.
Comment 3 Sebastien Bacher 2006-02-19 10:56:47 UTC 
The type is "text/x-tex" on my Ubuntu installation, it works fine

Anyway the mimemagic definitions come from shared-mime-info which is a freedesktop component, closing as NOTGNOME
Comment 4 Christian Neumair 2006-02-19 12:17:16 UTC 
Sorry, it was me who broke this. I've now added the "%" magic pattern to shared-mime-info for "text/x-tex", xdgmime has to be modified to use this, though.

Feel free to apply it in gnome-vfs/src with a patchlevel of -p1.

Patch that was committed to shared-mime-info

This one registeres the "%" matchlet for octave files.

After applying those two patches, both types are correctly recognized for me.
