xdg-mime should use gvfs-info on gnome

[Max Berger]

Binary package hint: xdg-utils

According to the gnome release plan [1] gnome-vfs is to be replaced with gvfs, which it already is in most applications.

xdg-utils (in particular xdg-mime, possible others) still used gnomevfs-info instead of gvfs-info and should therefore be updated.

The same holds true for xdg-open (uses gnomve-open instead of gvfs-open)

A temporary workaround is to comment out the old command and use gvfs-info instead

info_gnome()
{
    file=`readlink -f "$1"` # Normalize path
    DEBUG 1 "Running gnomevfs-info \"$file\""
    #gnomevfs-info "$file" 2> /dev/null | grep MIME | cut -d ":" -f 2 | sed s/"^ "//
    gvfs-info "$file" 2> /dev/null | grep standard::content-type | cut -d ":" -f 4 | sed s/"^ "//
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
        exit_success
    else
        exit_failure_operation_failed
    fi
}

I can confirm this issue.

I'm rising the priority because gnome-vfs is now deprecated and this bug has not been fixed.

An ubuntu user also proposes a workaround here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/xdg-utils/+bug/376827

So, I propose a mixture between both:

gvfs-info "$file" 2> /dev/null | grep standard::content-type |cut -d' ' -f4
