I just thought of something. Maybe we should have a property in the
mime-type that describes whether this mime-type is safe to be launched
or not. So we can manually tag things that might introduce a security
risk.
I still don't see the utility in adding hacks into evolution to
special-case this. Will the same happen with application/x-rpm? And
application/x-scripting-language? I still maintain that having the user
have to manually set the execute bit will at least force them to
actually have to -do- something that will hopefully make them realize
that they either know what they're doing or they don't. It's such a
small thing that can possibly prevent a large amount of headache.
