Bug#622975: [iceweasel] Please don't use gnome's mime database

[Florian Kriener]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 4.0-3
Severity: minor

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I am using iceweasel running in a kde session and wondered why iceweasel 
always suggests the wrong application to open a file from the web. For 
example, when I try to open a PDF I want it to open in okular (and 
sometimes in lpr) but instead iceweasel suggests inkscape. I browsed the 
source code a bit and found out that iceweasel queries the gnome-mime-
database before it tries mailcap. Please don't do this, it only works 
for gnome applications and leaves every other desktop manager out.

Removing the gnome-mime-data package works btw. but since inkscape 
depends on it (through gnome-vfs stuff) one cannot reasonable use 
iceweasel with inkscape installed in a non gnome session.

Florian.
