Hi, 

well it does work for me (but it doesn't mean much, of course). Anyway,
I enclose short test programs that prints gnome mime associations.

#include <gnome.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    int i;
    const gchar *cmd;

    if(argc<=1) 
	fprintf(stderr,"No mime types to check\n");
    for(i=1; i<argc; i++)
	printf("%s: %s\n",argv[i], 
	       (cmd=gnome_mime_get_value(argv[i], "view"))
	       ? cmd : "No view action defined");

    return argc>1;
}

I compile it with 

gcc -I/usr/lib/gnome-libs/include/ -I/usr/lib/glib/include
gnome-mime-test.c -lgnome -lgnomesupport -laudiofile -lesd -ldb

and then run:
./a.out application/pdf application/msword text/html
In my case it prints:

application/pdf: gv -safer %f
application/msword: No view action defined
text/html: No view action defined

If you get that there is no action defined it means there is no view
action defined :-).

If this program prints you an action but balsa claims something
different, I am interested in further data.
