MIME type or alias for "x-directory/normal" missing

[trespasserw]

Gnome VFS functions return MIME type "x-directory/normal" for URIs of kind "file:///path/to/dir/", but there seems to be no definition for such a type in Oneiric. As a result programs which uses e.g. gnome_url_show() to open such URIs no longer work.

In Natty "x-directory/normal" was provided by Nautilus, but in Oneiric it only provides "inode/directory".

Errr... how I can test it? Is this bug still valid?

Well, I think it's invalid now. All (known to me) ways to reproduce depend on a presence of libgnomevfs-2.so - which is deprecated and no longer ships by default.
