I created a desktop file named mono.desktop into
/usr/share/applications, its content is following:
------------------
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Mono
GenericName=Runtime
Comment=The runtime for .NET applications
Exec=mono %f
NoDisplay=true
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
Type=Application
MimeType=application/x-ms-dos-executable;
--------------------
and application/x-ms-dos-executable appear only in this file, not in
other desktop files. but after this, when i double click exe files
with MimeType application/x-ms-dos-executable, gnome still says
"couldn't display ....".
anything more i can try to solve this problem? thanks
