Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Copy some desktop-file to the home folder with

    cp /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop ~

2. Open Caja in home folder
3. Make right mouse click on newly copied firefox.desktop file, ensure that you 
have two options here - "Open With LibreOffice Writer" and "Open With Other 
Application"
4. Click on "Open With Other Application", select Pluma in the opened window
5. Repeat step 3 to see Pluma in the list

Expected results:
* desktop-files are now open with Pluma

Actual results:
* Pluma is not shown, "Open With LibreOffice Writer" stays in place

Workaround:

1. Hit Properties, go to Open With tab and repeatedly click on Remove button, 
then close this window. 
2. Visit "Open With Other Application" and type `pluma` in "Use a custom 
command" and click Add (if does not work - do this twice)
