That's not exactly right in this case. To do this, we need to access the
Gnome Mime Types (to know which app to open). However, the 0.12 and 0.13
series are gtk2-only, with no gnome dependencies.

Yes. We plan to plug back into gnome2 in a future release, which will
make that possible again.

I agree and this is now annoying me enough to actually do something
about it. :)  I'll look into this for the next release.
