"Default Applications" not being applied

[turbolad]

Ubuntu 12.04 using Unity:

When you set the "Default Applications" these settings are not applied properly. For instance, I set "VLC media player" as the default for "Video" but when I double-click on any video file it gets opened by Totem instead.

Also the option "A Wine application", shown if Wine is installed, does nothing.

Thank you for reporting this bug.

I can reproduce it too.
I've changed Totem for VLC and double-click on a video file. Totem is opened instead of VLC.

Output of "dpkg -l gnome-control-center":
    ii gnome-control-center 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu0.5

Version of ubuntu: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS

I'm testing and it work in some categories: web, pictures. maybe a problem with dconf ?

Setting Gnome Mplayer to be the default video player doesn't do anything. Videos are still open in Totem when double-clicked.

Is this still a bug in Ubuntu 13.04?
