xdg-utils uses the user's defaults.list, when defaults.list is only for administrators and OS developers to use. Instead, xdg-mime should use the user's mimeapps.list.
Oh my, xdg-mime's handling is... a bit ugly and outright wrong handling defaults.list properly alright. good news, it's an opportunity to make it simpler, cleaner, and conformant all at once. Reference for posterity, http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/mime-actions-spec
Created attachment 490744 [details] 0001-xdg-mime-Use-mimeapps.list-for-user-specific-mimetyp.patch Is this patch ok?
Definitely a good start, thanks!
