The issue seems to be an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

I am trying to change default application to open .avi files. I right- click an .avi file select "Properties", go to "Open With". There is a default application there (banshee) and recommended (VLC media player). I select VLC media player and click "Set as default" button, selection jumps back to banshee, "Set as default" button disabled and nothing else happens. Nautilus still opens .avi files with banshee.
