The first time a user unaware of the ability of Libreoffice to open .vsd
files tries to double-click on the .vsd file, a Nautilus dialog
'searching for application to open file' appears, and concludes with
'Visio document is not supported'.

However, if user forces opening with Libreoffice (in my case Writer,
first of all) then an association to .vsd is created to Writer (but the
file is opened directly in Draw). Files can then be double-clicked and
opened correctly in LO Draw.

Further attempts to open with other application (right-click, open with
other application, 'find applications online' results in the same
message 'Visio Document is not supported'.

If 'cancel' is then clicked (the only option) then a dialog
'Failed to look for applications online'
GDBus.Error:org.Packagekit.Modify.Cancelled:
is displayed.

Well worth fixing this as the ability to reliably open Visio documents
removes a major blocker for business users migrating from Windows to
Ubuntu/Libreoffice/Linux
