THANK YOU for this! I've been wondering why all of those mime types keep
getting re-created and was tearing my hair out wondering if my distro's
packaging system was to blame. I even started writing some wrapper scripts to
chmod +x wine only when I meant to run it. (The pitfalls of having other apps
that pay attention to the mime types -- some of the wine-created ones took
precedence over some others and resulted in my web browser trying to open Flash
files with wine. NOT fun.)

In my opinion this feature should be off by default. If there are users that
want it, they can click through a "I understand the risks of letting Windows
applications run automatically for file types" screen.

~Felix.
