Cool! The problem here is that I could not find what system KDE 4 uses
for MIME associations. It doesn't seem it uses update-desktop-database
even though that's a freedesktop.org standard. So we could require GTK
apps to depend on desktop-file-utils, but that's not really an easy
task.
Could
For KDE users, does running kbuildsycoca4 after installed the gnome app
work?

For me, running kbuildsycoca4 doesn't change anything in f-spot, i.e. it
doesn't solve the problem. (I removed the package desktop-file-utils and
the file /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache before.)

Woohoo, the magics of standards.
@Jonathan: That would not change anything because that only updates the ksycoca
but not freedesktop stuff (because by spec the installing application is
supposed to do that stuff, not the desktop's implementation of the freedesktop
standards), fspot being a
That's what I was expecting (fearing)... The spec does not go until that
part - though IMHO it could have been good to have a common command to
do this kind of thing.
The problem is, no package except ubuntu-desktop and a few others depend
on desktop-file-utils. So fixing that detail would really
All very confusing and certainly requires investigation.
First of all I cannot imagine that KDE got a quite well working component to
implement the desktop-enty-spec (namely kbuildsycoca4) and GNOME depends on
update-desktop-database only. The mentioned spec does not even enforce a policy
were
GNOME packages are calling update-desktop-database and update-mime-
database everytime they add a file to those places. Apps rely on GIO
(mostly) to get the required data, but GIO only reads the cache file, I
think - and does not depend on desktop-files-utils.
Does KDE handle this automatically?
KDE does detect it and any KDE app would be able to access this data, so
if fspot was a KDE application all this would work perfectly fine. But
since fspot is a GNOME app it apparently relies on GIO to read the
desktop-file database, which is not present, because KDE doesn't create
or update that
And even 'sudo update-desktop-database', without any argument. ;-)

Apparently, there are two versions that Amarok can use of libgpod4: one
with GTK, and one without. I guess that if you install the package
libgpod4, and then gnome, that should work. But that should be handled
more nicely, would you mind filing a bug against that package?
But about the true
OK, I've found it. Please run 'grep gimp
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache', that will show you every file
type for which GIMP is registered.

Hm, are you sure you're talking about KDE 4, Milan? At least this is
what happened when I followed your steps:
~$ grep gimp /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
grep: /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache: No such file or directory
~$ sudo update-desktop-database
sudo:
I'm a GNOME user, but these are supposed to be desktop-neutral, though I
can't find the spec that deals with this precise problem. So from the
result of these commands, it looks like the file does not exist, which
can perfectly explain the problem.
Can you install the package desktop-file-utils
I just installed the package desktop-file-utils and ran sudo update-
desktop-database and now the problem is solved: The applications show up
in the menu and work. So should this be a dependancy?
Thanks a lot!

I'm setting this back to incomplete since I'm having the same problem:
I'm using Kubuntu 9.04 (KDE 4.2.2) and I have f-spot and The Gimp
installed. When I right-click on an image the Open with option tells
me No applications available.
When I try to install the package gnome as Eira said, I get
Since it's been a very long time since any additional info was added to

out what additional work should be done on this bug.

Unfortunately I'm no longer a KDE user, so I'm unable to test this with
my current setup.

Sorry for not making this clear: Gimp was already installed as well. As

I reinstalled Gimp. It made no difference. Same for reinstalling f-spot.
Installing Gnome immediately fixed the problem, also in KDE (without
logging out and in again).

OK. So could you try reinstalling gimp and okular, and then if that does
not solve the problem, reinstalling f-spot? This would give us more

Thanks for reporting bugs. However, this one does not look like a real
bug to me: when you install F-Spot, you don't always want to have GIMP
coming with it. Thus, it is normal that you cannot edit photos since you
have no image processing app. If you need one, just manually install
GIMP.
