            Bug ID: 99106
           Summary: xdg-mime defualt is inconsistent with xdg-open
           Product: Portland
           Version: 1.1.0 rc3
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: xdg-utils
          Assignee: portland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: tezeb+freedesktop at outoftheblue.pl

Steps to reproduce:
1. DE set to gnome3
2. unset XDG_DATA_HOME
3. have multiple valid pdf applications installed(ie. gimp, evince)
4. assume no custom settings for handlers
5. run: xdg-mime query default application/pdf
With XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL, it will display multiple paths being checked. It
finds gimp.desktop in /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
6. run: xdg-mime default /usr/share/applications/evince.desktop application/pdf
Again, debug shows:
Updating /home/user/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
7. run: xdg-mime query default application/pdf
It displays '/usr/share/applications/evince.desktop' as expected.

8. run: xdg-open xxx.pdf
It opens gimp.desktop(or whatever was the default).

The BUG:
Internally xdg-open uses gvfs-open(version 1.30.3 here), which uses ~/.config/
as default XDG_DATA_HOME when the variable is unset, but xdg-mime uses some awk
magic and completly different path.
