That was my first thought when I couldn't get it working. However,
that's the same way GIMPs entry is done. Looking around the file, I
found that EoG has a slightly different entry and Mozilla and even more
different one. I tried each style for my entry but alas, no luck.
=== excerpts: /usr/share/application-registry/gnome-vfs.applications ===

=== end ===
To test that perhaps it was the executable itself, I put my executable
(/usr/bin/qiv2) in place of GIMP (/usr/bin/gimp-2.6) and EoG
(/usr/bin/eog) which worked flawlessly.
so... what's the deal and what's with all the different entry formats?
