Comment 2 for bug 1000777

The output of the "gvfs-mime --query x-scheme-handler/magnet" is:

Registered applications:
     eiskaltdcpp-qt.desktop
     eiskaltdcpp-gtk.desktop
     transmission-gtk.desktop
Recommended applications:
     eiskaltdcpp-qt.desktop
     eiskaltdcpp-gtk.desktop
     transmission-gtk.desktop

After I using this command:

  gvfs-mime --set x-scheme-handler/magnet transmission-gtk.desktop

Everithing just works ok. Thank you.

P.S.: It seems there was a little misunderstanding about 'BitTorrent
client' in the original message. I meant the Transmission client which
is default torrent application in Ubuntu.
