<pre>We are registering a mime type association when are are installing our
application by these lines in the package postinstall script:
$ xdg-desktop-menu install /opt/thinlinc/lib/tlclient/thinlinc-client.desktop
$ xdg-mime install /opt/thinlinc/lib/tlclient/thinlinc-client-mime.xml
Same thing but "uninstall" when the package is removed. Unfortunately,
after removing the package, the type is still to be found:
$ xdg-mime query default application/vnd.cendio.thinlinc.clientconf
thinlinc-client.desktop
This is because xdg-desktop-menu adds stuff to
/usr/local/share/applications/defaults.list, but never removes anything.</pre>
