the first time that nautilus is run in a directory it would certainly not
solve the staleness, but the second time, once all the files have their
mime type set in a EA it would be very fast and there would not be any
staleness.

yes, it is a like cache, but it would not have to be renew each time
nautilus is run, also it would not take any memory, the EAs are handled by
the OS.

the bad thing is that the the problem would persist for those file systems
that do not support EAs. It was just an idea anyway.
