I believe this means that this particular type is not in the gnome-vfs 
MIME database. It's strange that gnome-vfs was able to determine that the 
file's MIME type is "application/x-mrproject". One possibility is that 
this was a file on an HTTP server, because in that case we trust the MIME 
type that the server returns.

To add an entry in the gnome-vfs MIME database and deal with this, we just 
need a few pieces of basic info:

    1) file type description in plain English, in style like the other 
descriptions in gnome-vfs/data/mime/gnome-vfs.keys.in
    2) information about which applications can edit or view files of this 
format
    3) file extension and/or magic number information that can be used to 
recognize the file type
