Evandro, thanks for your reply.

You mean 'update-desktop-database -q', as documented in GNOME package
guidelines [1] ? I already set this in the install file (apparently i
forgot it in groupwise, but i didn't forget in the messenger package).  I
also ran this command manually as root with '-v' (verbose) flag set, but
nothing changed.
