Each gnome program "registers" itself in a *.desktop file in
/usr/share/applications. There is a "MimeType" line in these files
indicating what types of files it can handle. (The mimetype definitions
are in /usr/share/mime*).
You may have *.desktop files under your home directory too.
If you change these files, you need to run update-desktop-database.
