Re: Nautilus file associations

[Janyne Kizer <janyne_kizer ncsu edu>]

What I have so far are these files (under RH9):

/usr/share/application-registry/gnome-vfs.applications
/usr/share/mime-info/gnome-vfs.mime
/usr/share/mime-info/gnome-vfs.keys

It looks to me like if I can get these there to play nicely, I should be 
all set.  Have I missed anything?

Oh, it also looks to me like user's individual file associations are 
stored here:
~/.gnome/application-info/user.applications
~/.gnome/mime-info/user.keys
~/.gnome/mime-info/user.mime

I'm thinking that this could be handy for troubleshooting :-)
