Thanks.

Something else for shared-mime-info:

Can you (or can I) add a new mimetype application/x-executable-script 
(if possible with  sub-class-of="text/plain", but this is in fact missing in many
places)

and add sub-class-of="application/x-executable-script" to
application/x-ruby
application/x-python
application/x-perl
application/x-javascript 
application/x-shellscript

This allows the code that checks if something should be run to simply check
for "application/x-executable-script" instead of hardcoding a list of executable
mimetypes, which makes it possible to configure more "executable scripts"
at runtime.

(BTW: I used to have access to the cvs but everything's moved since - what's the
cvsroot for ssh access?)
