"Reinvent the wheel" isn't always a good way to inprove open and free software development. Some development divergencies are a very good thing, I prefer to join my efforts with efforts of others. Then, it is for that I'm asking for advice here. > Check the API documentation for gnomevfs and find this function: > gnome_vfs_mime_get_default_application_for_uri [1] Thanks for this note.

GConf has nothing to do with "mime database", I agree. But it have some things to do with users preferences (like user settings for mime-application association) and with the default settings on GNOME system (like default mime-application associations).
