My system (Arch Linux) doesn't have mimeopen installed -- I'm not sure where it
comes from.  Is this code deprecated, btw?  I notice there hasn't been a
release in years, but I'm not sure if that's just because it 'wasn't broken'. 
It's only since switching from XFCE to E17 for my DE that this became an issue,
I guess since it actually starts falling back to the generic code.
