Public bug reported:
`man xgd-mime` says:
> query filetype FILE: Returns the file type of FILE in the form of a
MIME type.
However, it actually returns MIME type with MIME encoding:
$ xdg-mime query filetype <filename>
> text/x-python; charset=utf-8
After the man page, it should return something like `file --mime-type`:
$ file -b --mime-type <filename>
> text/x-python
But instead, it returns something like `file --mime`:
$ file -b --mime <filename>
> text/x-python; charset=utf-8
Either the man page is wrong or `wdg-mime` is wrong.
