Initial fix was done on Friday (thanks to Alex help) but with suggestion
from Alex, I fixed it this morning.. 

I got review for Alex who understand gnome-vfs better than I do..

In fact, the fix is quite trivial : instead of sending a bunch of update
event when mime-type are modified (usually when packages are
installed/removed), we wait a little and only send one update
notification..
