Vym installation does not fully register mime file type

[Steve Jackson]

Binary package hint: vym

VYM 1.12.2-2 in Ubuntu 10.04 patched up to 11 June 2010

After installing VYM, I cannot double-click on a .vym file in Nautilus and have it open in VYM.

Expected action: File opens in VYM.
Actually happens: File opens in Archive Manager, since it is recognised as a compressed archive file (which it is - but so are OpenOffice files, and they work as expected).

Steps to reproduce:
1. sudo apt-get install vym
2. Start VYM, create a sample mindmap, save the file on the desktop, close VYM
3. On the desktop, double-click the sample file just saved.

This isn't a new bug really - it's never done this properly in Ubuntu, and it's about time it did!

This bug still occurs with vym 1.12.7-1 in Maverick!
