This all is of course largely theoretical (in practice, desktop-file- utils will be installed, and f24 will have a build of d-f-u with the file trigger), but I don't entirely agree. If you install the gedit package, and nothing happens, your system is now in an inconsistent state - the installed desktop files contain mime handler information that is not reflected in the mime db. The fact that installing d-f-u later will bring your system back into consistency doesn't change the fact that it is inconsistent between the end of the gedit installation and the time you decide to install d-f-u. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
