In intrepid:
$ cat .local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
[Added Associations]
inode/directory=something.desktop;nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;

$ cat .local/share/applications/something.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=vlc
Terminal=false
Type=Application

The gnome-panel will launch vlc, while nautilus open "places" correctly
in itself (when clicking in the sidebar). Actually, even if I remove
"nautilus-folder-handler.desktop" from the list, it still works in
nautilus.

So why does nautilus have a different behaviour than gnome-panel ?
Should it follow mimeapps.list ?

Then I think there's a second bug, if there are more than one entry in
mimeapps.list, and the first entry fails to launch, shouldn't it retry
with the second entry, etc. ?

For me the first entry was trying to launch wxvlc, which doesn't exist
anymore in intrepid, shouldn't it try to launch nautilus instead of
throwing an error message ?

regards,

Benoit
