Title: gnome-calendar desktop file claims text/calendar mime support, but doesn't actually open such files Status in GNOME Calendar: Expired Status in gnome-calendar package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: release: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS package version: 3.20.4-0ubuntu0.1 Expected behavior: gnome-calendar displays text/calendar file contents OR doesn't report support for such files so that some other application will be used. Observed behavior: gnome-calendar registers itself as supporting text/calendar files, but doesn't actually open them, at least not on launch by an external program, such as any mailcap program or Nautilus. From Nautilus, gnome-calendar never opens. From mailcap applications, gnome-calendar opens but just shows a calendar. Additional details: Found when using a mail client that uses mailcap to find programs to open attachments. The /etc/mailcap file claims that, to open files of type text/calendar (e.g. *.ics files), one should run 'gnome-calendar %s' replacing %s with the filename: text/calendar; gnome-calendar %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" I found via tracing that this line comes from when the update-mime program parses /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Calendar.desktop from the gnome-calendar package, which includes the line MimeType=text/calendar; The actual behavior of running gnome-calendar in this way is that it ignores the file argument and just shows a calendar and does not view the file specified. Relatedly, this desktop file also seems to result in Nautilus thinking that gnome-calendar should open a .ics file, but when opening a file via nautilus, I get an indicator showing that gnome-calendar is launching, but no window opens and the indicator eventually times out.
