Description of problem: All the defaults.list entries for OpenOffice.org programs have names such as openoffice.org-1.9-calc.desktop, but none of these files exist anymore with Fedora 11's OpenOffice.org, the 1.9 was removed (#486460), the files are now e.g. openoffice.org-calc.desktop, openoffice.org-writer.desktop. As a result, gnumeric had become the default application for opening Excel .xls files on my system. Abiword had also taken over .doc files. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): shared-mime-info 0.60-3.fc11 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install openoffice.org-calc and gnumeric 2. Double click a .xls file in nautilus 3. Actual results: Gnumeric opens the spreadsheet. Expected results: OpenOffice.org calc opens the spreadsheet (it used to on Fedora 10). Additional info:
I think this is less reproducible, without correct entries in /usr/share/applications/defaults.list, which program ends up the default appears to be undefined. There are more .desktop files in defaults.list that are not present: gnome-gnumeric.desktop gnome-abiword.desktop brasero-ncb.desktop gthumb-importer.desktop Present files are: fedora-gnumeric.desktop fedora-abiword.desktop brasero-nautilus.desktop gthumb-import.desktop

Thanks Edward for spotting all those, turns out we were still broken in F-12, which is pretty embarassing. Updated package is coming shortly.
