Re: Important desktop-wide change (MIME)

[Rob Adams <readams readams net>]

Could we use a similar hack for adding extra MIME types then?  Each gst-
plugin could install a .desktop with

Exec=gst-player/whatever
MimeType=video/mpeg...
NoDisplay=true

The MIME system could then be smart enough to group together
all .desktop files with the same Exec line, or we could have a X-Gnome-
AppId=2093758-23alksjd93-lakjsd83 line with a guid that we could group
on.
