nautilus-3.20.0-1.fc24.x86_64

1. Create and install mpv in xdg-app:
https://github.com/hadess/hadess-xdg-app
2. Launch "nautilus" on the command-line
3. Right-click on a video file, select "Open with other application", and verify that mpv is in the list of available applications
4. Kill nautilus
5. Launch nautilus via gnome-shell
6. Repeat 3. -> mpv isn't in the list

We just use the GtkAppChooser, so I believe is either gtk+ or glib. Does the testappchooser in gtk+ repo work fine for you?

Reassigning to gtk+ for now.

It does, and so does nautilus when launched via the command-line, rather than D-Bus activated.

Reassigning to nautilus...

It's a bug in xdg-app, the XDG_DATA_DIRS aren't propagated to the D-Bus activated applications. See https://github.com/alexlarsson/xdg-app/issues/147
