E.g. on KDE the KIO subsystem knows how to determine the MIME type of a<br>
resource and will look up the application associated with it.<br>

I would guess that this is also true for GNOME and their IO framework.<br></blockquote><div><br>It is true for GVFS; gvfs-info can detect mimetype of remote files and gvfs-mime is supposed to print the application associated with it, but the latter didn't work on my system.<br>
