Hi,
yes, I'd expect that too, but it seems the standard defines something,
but actual implementations differ.

Rather than remembering tens of different command syntaxes, I'd just
tell those xdg-... command wrappers (like 'xdg-mime') that I want to do
the change for GNOME (or better any glib/gvfs/gnomevfs application, for
what it worth), by:
$ XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME xdg-mime .....

To be picky, Evolution relies on glib and glib does what it does. Any
glib application using GAppInfo should be similarly affected. I can
create a little test program as a proof of concept :)
