GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 84446
MIME type settings being ignored
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
The MIME settings in Gnome are apparently ignored for certain file types. (I have personally only verified jpeg.) Regardless of the setting, the system uses Electric Eyes on my desktop, and nothing on my laptop. Both systems are running an up-to-date Debian unstable distro.
This moot in 0.12.0, which is a gtk2 release ... we'll need to use gnome2 APIs to do this in 0.12.x...
