Mime types, icons and .desktop files

[gemi at bluewin.ch]

The mime-info database misses a lot of mime types.
Also most third-party applications don't come
with .desktop files and their corresponding
icons (For example I use Mathematica and Maple
and had to create .desktop files and mime-types
myself).
I propose therefore that there be an entry
form on Fedora home page where people can
submit this information.
There could also be a program like appfinder,
that looks if there are applications installed
that it knows about and then installs the
corresponding .desktop files into
/usr/share/applications
