Clearly a binary mimetype is still nothing an app like gedit should advertise, but I'd still like to override the system there and then. Even a missing mimetype is still no excuse - the user wants an easy solution there and then not waiting for a bug report to be processed and half a year later in a new release of his distribution to be finally fixed for her. jtl
