@Aleck: this is NOT the same bug. That bug happened when nautilus
migrated from GnomeVFS to gvfs/GIO. And this one is about something
else:

@Nikolaus: this happened because gnome migrated (again) the settings for
opening URIs (http:// , ftp:// , magnet:, mailto:, etc). Back in
Maverick, gnome stored default launchers at gconf settings. Now, to make
it similar / consistent with file handlers, it uses xdg mime database.
The problem is Ubuntu didn't provide default settings in the new method
for some URIs like the ones you mentioned (trash://, computer:// etc)

The workaround of editing /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache works,
but that is not the proper place to fix that. That file is meant to be
automatically generated when new applications are installed in the
system. The place you should edit is:

For system-wide change: /usr/share/applications/defaults.list 
For your user only: /home/<your user> /.local/share/applications/defaults.list 

(also, you may check /usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list and
/home/<your user> /.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list)

In next version, Ubuntu will (hopefully) ships with an updated
defaults.list that already includes all URIs
