that's an upstream design decision and not likely something that will be
worked for natty, common cases should be handled by softwares shipping a
.desktop, special cases can be workaround by creating a .desktop by hand

This also affects other mail applications like gnome-gmail (bug #729357)
and desktop-webmail since neither can set themselves as the default mail
application - at the moment there is a patch for gnome-gmail in the
attached bug, but it would seem a better solution would be to fix this
in
The patched gnome-gmail still has two problems which you may want to
address here. When enabled, the file browser does not have an 'email'
choice in the Send To... transport options, and there remains a
Configure Email... entry in a top menu, which launches Evolution. Both
behaviors are new.

... also, gnome-gmail 1.7.2 will offer to configure itself as the
preferred application, when launched from the Internet menu. This was
added for Fedora, which removed the Preferred Applications dialog.
I agree that the control-center fix is preferable. Ideally, gnome-gmail
would have no UI.

mpt has confirmed that this should be considered a regression. He
proposed maybe one future solution is to add an Other... entry to the
dropdown that popped up a dialog.

Assigning to Mike for now, as he did the backport. This should affect

Yes, upstream control center (at time of backport at least) did not
allow custom entries at all. Assuming that's still the case, is there
anything we want to do about this?

I used to have my mail reader set to open a terminal with mutt running
and this is no longer possible which is no longer possible.
Additionally, in my mind this is causes some data loss as I don't
remember how exactly I had it setup and I really shouldn't have to
remember this - my computer should

This appears related at least to
140_backport_default_internet_apps.patch which stops even loading the
XML files from /usr/share/gnome-control-center/default-apps (why does

The patch is a backport of the GNOME 3.0 panel.
The XML file shipped by Firefox is legacy, and I'll remove it for the
