I noted the problem when opening a *.txt file.

STFW Xfce stores file associations for a given user in:

    ~/.config/mimeapps.list


Mine contained two entries that seem to be the source of the bug:

    2015-12-13 13:23:42 dpchrist@i72600s ~/.config
    $ egrep -i '^\[|devede' mimeapps.list-20151212-225710-devede
    [Default Applications]
    text/plain=devede.desktop
    [Added Associations]
    text/plain=devede.desktop;


Removing them fixed the problem for *.txt files -- double-clicking on a *.txt file in Thunar opens the file in Mousepad.


But when I double-click on a *.devede file, it is also opened by Mousepad!


So, it appears that:

1.  Xfce thinks *.txt files are MIME type text/plain.

2.  Xfce thinks *.devede files are MIME type text/plain.

3.  Xfce uses MIME type for file association.


So, the root cause of the problem appears to be Xfce and the design of its file association feature (?).
