Comment 8 for bug 478178

As Adam says there is a need for a standard reliable 'add an application' dialog. At the moment none of the various dialogs for adding applications work very well. The one for selecting which application to use for a given filetype is full of double entries, missing entries and isn't even alphabetical, and the one this bug is about is a shambles. Why does it open to my home directory? There are no applications in there by default.
