Description David Zeuthen (not reading bugmail) 2008-07-29 17:59:18 UTC 
As outlined in bug 545351 there's no way to reset file associations for a given mime type. This is unfortunate as it's now possible to e.g. disassociate "gThumb Image Viewer" from image/png and there's no way to get it back. We need a "Reset Associations" button in the "Open With" dialog

Also needs new gio API, see bug 545351.

Here is a quick implementation. 
It requires the new api in glib 2.19.
