SVG wallpaper identifies as xml document

[Onkar Shinde]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

Using feisty with latest updates.

While changing desktop background/wallpaper, a SVG wallpaper is identified as XML document. In my opinion it should show as SVG wallpaper.

Thank you for your bug, that's fixed with this upload:

     - change svg tag range, fix wrong Debian wallpaper mimetype listed

Hi,
currently shared-mime-info's magic for SVG files has a too small range. Attached is a sample file where it would fail if the extension of the file is not taken into account (i.e. when renaming it to bla instead of bla.svg and running gnomevfs-info --slow-mime bla). The mimetype would be reported as application/xml.

Attached patch fixes this.
