So how is this stuff controlled these days? Those funky desktop files? gconf? dconf? Something else entirely?
The default programs are kept in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list, according to fd.o "MIME Actions spec". <http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/mime-actions-spec> All popular DEs - GNOME, Xfce, KDE - use this, and should respect explicitly set defaults.

Waitwaitwaitwait. How the *hell* does the existence of XDG autorun spec automatically make all other XDG specs "evil"? Especially file-program associations, which are completely unrelated? -- Mantas M.
