           Summary: xdg-mime doesn't check defaults.list correctly
           Product: Portland
           Version: 1.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: xdg-utils
        AssignedTo: portland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: fcrozat at mandriva.com


version 1.0.1 of xdg-mime doesn't check defaults.list correctly :

it searchs for the first .desktop keyfile for a particular mimetype, without
checking if this .desktop is available on the system.

The attached patch fixes this issue.

It isn't perfect, since xdg-mime doesn't checks if .desktop if valid (ie if
Exec= is pointing to a existing executable file) or if it can be used (ie not
in Hidden=true) but it is better.
