Package: desktop-file-utils
Version: 0.18-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I´m NOT using gnome, i´m a FVWM-User, and there is the Problem, when i
try to Open a PDF-file in Iceweasel or nautilus, this Programs always
start gv instead of evince, xpdf or acroread.

update-desktop-database puts /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
alwas gv.desktop at first in the line application/pdf.

I found out, that there is also a file defaults.list in this directory,
which should handle personal preferences to default-programms.
But this file is ignored. So i found a this line

"  * Remove defaults.list stuff, it’s all in gnome-session now."

in the changelog.Debian.gz from desktop-file-utils... So i can´t set
defaults for every user on my machine.

I can only set a default-application in
~/.local/share/applications/default.list for every user...

And this isn´t documentated... It took me a very long time, to find that
out. 
Remember, not everyone is using gnome, so it would be fine, if there is
a possibility to find the information in the man-page, or better, put in
again this stuff into update-desktop-file-utils.

regards

Jakob
