Attachments: Patch to fix the multiple desktop files report by xdg-mime

Description Alex Sokoloff 2013-02-05 16:39:11 UTC 
I'm not using DE, and I have 2 records for text/plain 

grep "text/plain" /usr/share//applications/defaults.list
text/plain=gedit.desktop

grep "text/plain" /usr/share//applications/mimeinfo.cache 
text/plain=kde4-kate.desktop;

xdg-mime from trunk return 2 .desktop entries.

./xdg-mime query default text/plain
gedit.desktop kde4-kate.desktop

This issue was blocking for me on Fedora 20.

I had the entry 'application/pdf=evince.desktop' in both defaults.list and mimeinfo.cache, and running

xdg-mime query default application/pdf

returned

evince.desktop evince.desktop

The line above would not be parsed properly by xdg-open and the pdf files were opened by the fallback browser.

An attached patch fixes the problem. Please consider it.
