The xdg_mime_ calls needs to be protected by the gnome_vfs_mime_mutex
lock. I noticed some other calls in that files that weren't protected
and am fixing them now.

However, I don't think this is the right way to solve this bug. I think
update-desktop-database should do the unaliasing. That way every app
doesn't have to do this itself each time it loads the mimeinfo.cache
file. Don't you think this would be better?
