The following would be nice: + a patch for the spec (living in xdg/xdg-specs in git.freedesktop.org) + a patch for desktop-file-utils (to update update-desktop-database) + possibly patches for Qt (I assume) and glib to handle the changes in the format of mimeinfo.cache/mimeapps.list It's a bit unclear to me how the old stacks will react to something like: image/png=myapp.desktop[Edit]; Will they just fail gracefully?
