That's correct.  I can confirm that if I go to SeaMonkey's Edit >
Preferences and click "Set default browser", then a new userapp file is
created.  This userapp .desktop file is then inserted into
~/.config/mimeapps.list.

Good catch, and thank you!

If I'm not mistaken, those files and their associated mimeinfo entries
are created every time you set Firefox/SeaMonkey/PaleMoon as you
default browser, as the mechanism of such.

Isn't the culprit, but https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xdg-menu
mentions that some apps (not packages) install to desktop files to the
user's home:

"To add applications to the menu which install their desktop entry to a
user folder such as ~/.local/share/applications, edit the [snip]"

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep
all\( -A1 /var/aur/palemoon-bin/palemoon.install post_install() {
  update-desktop-database -q

Seems to be either the culprit.

I don't use, but have some DEs installed, but e.g. Xfce seemingly
doesn't automatically install desktop files to the users home.

So perhaps launching palemoon does it.

2016-03-19 Thread Ralf Mardorf 
Indeed it's bizarre. I'm not using a DE, but just openbox with fbpanel
and lxpanel, while the "systemmenu" is from fbpanel only. I also don't
edit the menu using a menu editor. I don't have such entries for e.g.
Firefox, IceCat, Qupzilla and other browsers, but Chrome is spamming the
directory.

I'm to lazy to read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xdg-menu, but
perhaps it's related and could enlighten you.
