Bug Description
I am on Ubuntu 13.10 using nautilus 1:3.8.2-0ubuntu2.2.
I am trying to change default application to open .avi files. I right-click an .avi file select "Properties", go to "Open With". There is a default application there (banshee) and recommended (VLC media player). I select VLC media player and click "Set as default" button, selection jumps back to banshee, "Set as default" button disabled and nothing else happens. Nautilus still opens .avi files with banshee.

Thank you for your bug report. Is that working on a guest session? If you run "nautilus -q; nautilus" and try to do those change do you get any warning? It could be a wrong permission on some file or directory
