i think associating rosegarden with *any* gzip file is more harm than
not being able to open rosegarden files via the file-manager (and i
think this is shat sebastinas also thinks)

i think the only valid option is to associate rosegarden with rg files
only (and not with gz files it cannot handle).

however, i don't really see the problem:
afaict, rosegarden.desktop associates with a lot of mimetypes
(audio/x-rosegarden-composition;audio/x-rosegarden-device;audio/x-rosegarden-project;audio/x-rosegarden-template),
but rosegarden.sharedmimeinfo registers "audio/rosegarden" as the
mimetype for .rg files - a mimetype that is *not* listed in the desktop
file.

maybe we should fix this first (and maybe provide a rosegarden.mime file
if this doesn't help).
