(Get the code!)
Yes I think it is unreachable for the one hundred paper cuts project.
This bug is clearer for me now. A freedesktop spec would be great.
There is several solutions :
* a spec to open an "open with" dialog, according to a mime type
* a spec to get informations about applications that can open a mime type. Then an application could display these applications the way it wants.
See the manual of xdg-mime, this command could be extended to have such informations for points 2.
I think this could resolve our problems. On first comment on this bug :
"A more user-friendly way would be to list all of the known programs installed
that are available to open files with" -> Second point
"Other..." or "Advanced... button" -> First point
