Hello there,
I can't get some custom MIME settings to work in GNOME and XFCE. When I set them using xdg-utils and the xdg-mime command I use returns 0. konqueror even acknowledges the changes. I tried restarting my GNOME and XFCE sessions, but my custom MIME types are not effective in nautilus and thunar.
kde (v3 anyway) uses a different MIME system than gnome/xfce(*), so setting a mimetype within a kde3 session affects *only* kde (and like-wise setting a mime association from within gnome/xfce won't touch kde).

(*) shared-mime-info spec. kde4 uses this now too.
