>Bug description:
>  1) Oneiric
>  System Settings → System Info → Default Applications
>  Issue reproted by OP: png, gif, svg, xpm (maybe more) do not open with correct application.
>
>  2) Precise
>  System Settings → Details → Default Applications
>  Issue reported in Bug #924388: Video opens with Totem even if VLC is selected as default
>
>  3) Upstream:
>  System Settings → Details → Default Applications
>  Issue reported in Gnome-bugs #662191: Setting default music player only works for ogg vorbis files
>
>
>  What you expected to happen:
>  1) When changing the default image viewer in  from 'Image Viewer' to 'Shotwell Viewer' a double click on any image should open the image in 'Shotwell Viewer'.
>
>  2) When changing default video player, all video files should open
>  using that app.
>
>  3) When changing default music player, all music files should open
>  using that app.
>
>  What happened instead:
>  1) When clicking on a png, gif, xpm or svg file Ubuntu will open them in 'Image Viewer' instead of the system default image viewer → 'Shotwell Viewer'.
>
>  2) Videos open in Totem even though VLC is selected to be default.
>
>  3) Default music player only works for ogg files
