Re: nautilus component issues

[Gustavo J A M Carneiro <gjc inescporto pt>]

  I'm having problems wiht mime types too since compiling gnome 2.3. It
used to work in gnome 2.2, sort of.  In gnome 2.2, mime icons was broken
too.  I had to use a special filename to get it working.  To indicate an
icon for mime type application/pgp-signature, for example, install the
icon as <prefix>/share/pixmaps/gnome-mime-application-signature.png.

  The mime type system is very very very buggy, I must say! :(
Maybe we should come up with a new one, xml based preferably, more
simple, and one that actually works.  I can only imagine the number of
nautilus bugs in bugzilla that are mime derived...
