Could you please add which desktop platform you were running this test on (GNOME, KDE, XFCE, other) and maybe attach such a file for testing? The platform is important, because there are different MIME databases involved depending on desktop environment, i.e. KDE3 uses a different one, older GNOME versions might not use the freedesktop.org specified either.

sample Rexx file
I am encountering this with Gnome 2.16 under Fedora and Ubuntu. Rexx was open-sourced awhile back by IBM, and it has come to my attention that the most up-to-date version, ooRexx, is probably the most common flavor. It uses this shebang: #!/usr/bin/rexx In addition, it was pointed out to me in this newsgroup thread: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.rexx/browse_thread/thread/e87e18958f497db4/eabedf0f3e4f866c#eabedf0f3e4f866c that this first line /*bin/true;exec rexx "$0" "$@";exit # REXX */ which was proposed in 1999, is platform-independent. I have just tested it and works; it is obviously compatible with the entry for Rexx in the current xdg mime database, so I for one will be using it for the time being. seems more appropriate for shared-mime-info Please follow the instructions at: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/tree/HACKING#n31 for mime-type additions. -- GitLab Migration Automatic Message -- This bug has been migrated to freedesktop.org's GitLab instance and has been closed from further activity.
