Thanks all for the replies.
If anybody remembers the solution I would be very happy to read it because http://mail.gnome.org/archives seems to be down these days.
Anyway, I've download shared-mime-info-0.14.tar.gz and will install that this eveing on my linux (it's a messy "linux from scratch")
I suppose I don't have to rebuild nautilus after... Isn't?
Thanks,
Cyrille
