No, it recognises them by looking at the mime type through the gedit
api. You probably don't see coloured code, either, so this is a gedit
issue.

In gedit, you can force the language over view->highlight mode. You are
right, the class browser should use this information instead of the mime
type.

Feel free to implement the language recognition, then :-)
The relevant code is in tabwatch.py
