Description Seth Nickell 2001-10-01 18:44:54 UTC 
Default applications needs to use the same "backend" as the File Types &
Programs capplet. It should be a beginner's window into the same settings
as file types & programs sets. That probably also means that File Types &
Programs needs to be extented to include URL handlers.

Failing to do this splits the conceptual space and creates a situation
where users have to change preferences in two places.

Setting priority to Enhancement.

Just doing some tagging of files I've already triaged. Filter on 'luis doing
GNOME2 work' to get rid of the spam.
Comment 3 Luis Villa 2002-01-31 21:53:33 UTC 
Because the mime-types capplet has been re-written, I'm closing the bugs against
it. Bugs that are more general and hence applicable to all versions of the app,
not just old versions (i.e., big-picture mime-type UI management) I've left
open.  If you feel this bug would still apply to the new capplet, please reopen
it and add the 'GNOME2' keyword. If there are questions, please write
luis@ximian.com or find louie in #gnome on irc.
