Not really. If there are particular applications that you'd like to see
listed (say, you wanted Thoggen or OGMRip to be launched instead of
Totem when inserting a video DVD), then file a bug against the package
or the upstream program.

Entering commands by hand is for geeks.

Only GNOME programs implement this right now, but all the Fedora GUI
applications should be using this, just like they all have .desktop
files, so say KDE apps can be integrated into Nautilus as well as GNOME
apps.
