I am encountering this with Gnome 2.16 under Fedora and Ubuntu.

Rexx was open-sourced awhile back by IBM, and it has come to my attention that
the most up-to-date version, ooRexx, is probably the most common flavor. It uses
this shebang:

#!/usr/bin/rexx

In addition, it was pointed out to me in this newsgroup thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.rexx/browse_thread/thread/e87e18958f497db4/eabedf0f3e4f866c#eabedf0f3e4f866c

that this first line

/*bin/true;exec rexx "$0" "$@";exit # REXX */

which was proposed in 1999, is platform-independent. I have just tested it and
works; it is obviously compatible with the entry for Rexx in the current xdg
mime database, so I for one will be using it for the time being.
