I have looked a little at nsIGnomeVFSService and users, namely nsGNOMERegistry, nsMIMEInfoUnix, nsLocalFileUnix and nsGNOMEShellService.

I believe a lot of this can be made significantly easier by using GIOs GAppInfo and GContentType. Maybe nsIGnomeVFSService can even go completely when switching to GIO.

This looks like a *lot* of work though. I may take a closer look at this at some time, I wanted to get deeper into GLib / GIO anyway.
