Since this file does not exist yet, how does cinnamon know which
application to use?

For me that seems to be a good solution. Maybe with some kind of
fallback. I don't know what happens if an entry in this file is wrong or
missing. But if it has the same result as if the file would not exists,
we only can improve. ;)
