Bug#629430: Ends up as the default for text documents

I'd appreciate any clues how to tell the MIME database that a program is only a second choice for a given type. I don't know any, apart from entirely removing the MIME type from the desktop file. According to http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/mimetypes-registering.html.en , the files named defaults.list determine the default choice for a MIME type. However, GNOME seems to have such files, referencing gedit.desktop, and this seems to get ignored: $ dpkg -S defaults.list gnome-session-common: /usr/share/gnome/applications/defaults.list gnome-session-common: /etc/gnome/defaults.list $ grep text/plain /usr/share/gnome/applications/defaults.list /etc/gnome/defaults.list /usr/share/gnome/applications/defaults.list:text/plain=gedit.desktop /etc/gnome/defaults.list:text/plain=gedit.desktop I don't know the right way to fix this. Removing the MIME type might potentially represent the best choice for now, to prevent this problem. People can still explicitly open documents in gobby if they want to. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
