Could anyone tell me the secret? :) AFAIK GConf has nothing to do with MIME. Personally I find the MIME setup in GNOME to be a bit magical. :-) The .desktop specification might offer clues: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fdesktop_2dentry_2dspec The shared MIME database might not be implemented in GNOME yet: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fshared_2dmime_2dinfo_2dspec It might also be interesting to see just what the program 'gnome-open' does, since it seems to somehow obtain the information you're looking for. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus therning org Jabber: magnus therning gmail com http://therning.org/magnus Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
