Usually other distros deal with this quite well, using a defaults.list file. For example Debian [1] and Ubuntu [2], though each other having the file in a different packages and different places, keep this thing almost sane. I'm not sure how is done for other DEs in these distros, but at least for GNOME this file has most of known/common file asociations. There is the gnome-defaults-list [1] package in AUR, but for personal reasons I believe is not done in the best way, thou it gave me a good ideea, and this is how I got to what I'm writing here. This package pulls an archive from Ubuntu, unpacks it, copies the defaults.list file into /etc/gnome then symlinks it to /usr/share/applications/defaults.list, which I find odd, it could've place the file there in the 1st place. Also, looking at this file, in both Debian and Ubuntu, I found out that is not what I'd want on my system, since I don't have some of the applications associated with some files in these distros. What worked great for me, was to take the files from both distros, compare them and come up with my own defaults.list [2]. Now, the great part in this, is that if you have some unusual file association, it's quite easy to add to the file, afterall, the "funky desktop files" are all in the same place, /usr/share/applications and can give you some ideeas. ;) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=gnome-defaults-list&SeB=x [2] http://ompldr.org/vYmU0ZQ/defaults.list -- <>< Sorin-Mihai Vârgolici Proud member of Ceata (http://ceata.org/)
