Made big progress (and learned something):
I installed desktop-file-utils and shared-mime-info, run
update-desktop-database and update-mime datatbase, and bingo: everything works
as expected (even seeing the formatted book in midori when using file:///,
instead of seeing the raw html).
This points to a defect in the book, though: since neither desktop-file-utils
nor shared-mime-info are mentionned in the XFCE chapter (not even as optional
dependencies) and the associated commands are not mentioned, I have built XFCE
without them (did I tell you I was just dummy with desktops?).
I've seen that there is a file in the xincludes directory containing the
appropriate commands.
I suggest to add those commands to the xfce4-session page, and the packages as
recommended deps (they could be "runtime" deps, but who would build
xfce4-session without running it?), unless somebody thinks it should be done
differently.
Regards
Pierre
