Description Christopher Rawlings 2004-05-07 16:45:18 UTC 
I am using gnome and nautilus 2.6.1 under Gentoo Linux 2004.1 (2.6.5 kernel),
along with shared-mime-info version 0.14.  The newer version of gnome-vfs in
this release of Gentoo apparently uses the shared-mime-info package, but the
shared-mime-info database does not contain a mime type for gDesklet Displays. 
As a result, nautilus incorrectly identifies gdesklet files (*.display) as mime
type 'text/xml' instead of 'application/x-gdesklets-display'.

When the gdesklet display file is double clicked within nautilus, it is opened
up as an xml file in the default internet browser.  The desired functionality is
to have nautilus add the actual gdesklet display to the desktop when it is
double-clicked within nautilus.

The following xml mime type definition fixes the problem:

<mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info">
    <mime-type type="application/x-gdesklets-display">

        </magic>
        <glob pattern="*.display"/>
    </mime-type>
</mime-info>

After adding an xml file with this definition to '/usr/share/mime/packages' and
running update-mime-database, nautilus correctly identifies gDesklet displays. 
This can be confirmed by running 'gnomevfs-info' for a .display file which shows
the correct mime type:

root # gnomevfs-info
/usr/share/gdesklets/Displays/desklet-psidisplays/meminfo.display
Name              : meminfo.display
Type              : Regular
MIME type         : application/x-gdesklets-display

gDesklets currently has its own package. Why should we ship it with the fdo package?

I obviously was not clear on which xml mime-type suggestions fdo will or will
not include in their package (still not sure what exactly what the distinction
is).  If this is something that shouldn't be included in the fdo package, I'll
contact the gDesklet guys about it.  Either way is fine...however it needs to be
handled.

This is up to gDesklet to register its mime types with the shared mime database,
you should file a bug against gDesklet instead.
