I have a patch to use gio for the mime icons too, but rawhide browsers are too broken to attach files atm....

could those changes be consider now? it would be nice to fix those issues before GNOME 2.24

I think a good chunk of this is in trunk already. Emmanuele, what are we still missing ?

as Matthias said, most of this is already in trunk.

what's missing is just the relocation of the recently-used.xbel file into something more XDG-compliant and the bulk addition of files for applications with multiple files open. the latter is a small API addition - just one function, so we can still add it if it's deemed useful enough (the rationale is in bug 524219).

I think we can safely close this bug - and leave specific issues to newly opened bugs.
