 Try running update-desktop-database, which will generate a new
 /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache.  That's where gnomevfs-info looks
  for its database.
Running update-desktop-dababase did help, but only after rearranging the 
XDG_DATA_DIRS in /etc/env.d/*, especially from KDE-3.5 which came too early. 
I guess that was the mistake why always kde-3.5 applications were default.

Thanks for the hint,

Sascha

Hello List,



Where are gnome defaults handled?
xdg-mime query default inode/directory shows correct app in kde but is empty
in gnome...


I can tell you that I also get an empty response in gnome, but my system is not
broken.  Doesn't help much, sorry.
