Bug Description

GFileAttribute:
> The "xattr" namespace. Gets information about extended user attributes. See attr(5). The "user." prefix of the extended user attribute name is stripped away when constructing keys in this namespace, e.g. "xattr::mime_type" for the extended attribute with the name "user.mime_type". Note that this information is only available if GLib has been built with extended attribute support. <

So please build glib with extended attribute support. It seems to be not.

gvfs does not use the mime type which is set in user.mime_type.
