Hi,

Distro: Kubuntu 11.10 64-Bits


I think there is an incorrect integration of gvfs in Kubuntu (or KDE?), 
essentially cuz the support of mime types is not taken into account.


For example,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:~$ gvfs-mime
Error parsing commandline options: Specify one of --query and --set

Try "gvfs-mime --help" for more information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:~$ gvfs-open trash://
gvfs-open: trash:///: error opening location: No application is registered as 
handling this file
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


It seems the package 'desktop-file-utils' is not installed by default and it 
seems it is the package handling mime types via the use of 
'update-desktop-database'. Maybe GVFS should have as a dependency 
'desktop-file-utils'?

Even after installing the package and launching 'update-desktop-
database', there are some problems, cuz the applications' priority order
has not been defined, therefore it opens up 'trash://' with a different
application than the File Manager (in my case it opened it up with
GwenView, instead of Dolphin).


I will give a try in Kubuntu 12.10 this w-e and see if the problem is 
persistent.


tnx!
