I'm still not convinced by this. Shouldn't most of the content of the 
g-v-m capplet be subsumed into preferred applications or another 
existing capplet? The fact that we already have both "File types and 
programs" and "Preferred applications" is crack enough, there shouldn't 
be yet a third place to have to choose what programs I want run when. 
This stuff really should Just Work.
