I posted some query's,  I'll guess we'll see.

On related note, from 
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec -  (which is fairly 
old itself so deprecated may now be 'not used/ignored'


    C. Deprecated Items

|Type=MimeType| is deprecated as there is a new standard for this now, 
see the Shared MIME-info Database specification 
<http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/shared-mime-info-spec> for more 
information. In consequence the Keys |Patterns| (various file name 
extensions associated with the MIME type) and |DefaultApp| (the default 
application associated with this MIME type) are also deprecated.
