Right now Totem claims to be able to play any multimedia files even though it
really can't (because by default plugins for the most prominent formats like
DVD aren't installed). The solution here is to switch
MimeType=(...)
into
MimeTypeDir=/usr/lib/gstreamer-x.xx/mime.types.d
and let plugins put appropriate files there (also, make the rpm macro
understand the new flag). This way Nautilus (or rather some helper app) would
know (from rpmdb or better, yum's cache), which package you have to install to
be able to play a file in Totem (or any gstreamer application using my
MimeTypeDir).
