At least in Maverick, I don't have any menu item for mkvinfo,
unfortunately.

But I do agree with OP: if there is a binary called "mkvinfo-gui", than
it should *always* open the GUI version, regardless of command line
arguments. For the text version there is already the binaries "mkvinfo-
text" and "mkvinfo" (which is an alternatives system symlink that can
point to either of them)

@Moriz (author): currently filenames are *very* misleading. From the
user's point of view, there's no reason to have a "binary named *-gui
with gui support that defaults to text". If YOU prefer to use text-only,
would be much better for everyone if you either use mkvinfo-text
directly OR point the mkvinfo symlink to the text version (which is
already the default), OR make an alias.

@Ubuntu packagers: I've downloaded Precise's packages and, so far, I've
noticed 2 issues regarding this:

1 - /usr/share/applications/mkvinfo.desktop is pointing to "mkvinfo-text
-g", which will not work. Should be "mkvinfo-gui -g"

2 - Both GUIs, mkvinfo and mmg are missing their icons (none are
installed, altough both are present in upstream tarball)
