That's nice, but you haven't addressed the technical issue of the fact
that gnome_mime_* is a deprecated API. What should be used instead, if
not the gnome_vfs_mime_* API? I don't remember you or anyone else
obecting when John Sullivan proposed moving this functionality to
gnome-vfs many months ago.

How about proposing a good solution instead of saying what you don't
want to do.
