We found the *.ram line in freedesktop.org.xml to be wrong. The correct MIME Type for .ram file is application/ram. We used audio/x-pn-realaudio before and unfortunately most of the old documentation is still very confusingly pointing to the old MIME Type. Without fixing .ram MIME Type, Nautilus would prevent the user from double-clicking .ram file to launch Helix or RealPlayer. This is the patch to fix the issue and enable us to make sure that double-click (default application) is working for .ram files. We need to get the .ram glob line removed. Adding the application/ram mime-type to freedesktop.org.xml.in is optional.
