If I am not mistaken, this is a duplicate of bug #193582 and/or bug #186241. Ultimately, it's caused by a bug in shared-mime-info, (http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6577) which is fixed in CVS but not in any released version.
This is one of those examples where "fixed in CVS" is indeed not a good answer. This has been around for about 5 months in rawhide/FC5 if I am not mistaken. I am not reporting it because it is beginning to make me very frustrated. I have pasted a link to an interesting and relevant article. http://programming.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=06/05/09/2011212&tid=25
