Re: Removable media in control-center (gsettings)

[Narcis Garcia <informatica actiu net>]

If operating system (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS in this case) saves user's
associations at ~/.config/mimeapps.list and xdg-mime works with this
(reads & writes there), then it's not a problem. It can be an OS
distribution feature.

It's not xdg-mime that must follow GLib/Gnome behaviour: it should be
Gnome that works consistently following same rules as xdg-mime.

My problem in this list thread is that I check associations with
xdg-mime (Nautilus is consistent to xdg-mime when opens files), but
gnome-control-center doesn't work completely with Freedesktop rules but
the real problem for me: doesn't have documented its own rules.
