Regular expressions would slow all component activation down a whole
lot. I doubt that acceptable. bonobo:excluded_mime_types might work, you
have to talk to the bonobo people about adding that. However, you might
want to use the new nautilus-extension system in Nautilus 2.5 instead.
We're phasing out the use of bonobo for things like this. In fact, in
Nautilus 2.5 the bonobo menus are implemented using a
NautilusMenuProvider plugin.
