It seems as though gnome-vfs just does a check of the file's extension here, so that every file which has the extension ".log" shows up as text/x-log. So doing a filter based on mime type likely won't work here. > I tried making an IRCLogQueryable based off of Gaims but didn't have > any success as well as trying to modify the filters to add the > requested mime-type..

The GaimLogQueryable is your best bet here, assuming the logs are saved somewhere special, like ~/.irssi/log or something like that. From there you could write a parser that extracts whatever interesting metadata is there (like channel name, etc.). You may want to file an enhancement request in bugzilla so that some enterprising young hacker can tackle it. Unfortunately, though, it seems unlikely that one backend will tackle the logs for all the IRC clients out there.
