           Summary: Removing default applications bindings on installation
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.22
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: xavier.poirot at dalaen.com


There is an annoying "feature" of wine, during installation.

It is adding entries in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache to bind, for
examples .txt files to Notepad inside Wine (the Windows Notepad).
Due to that "hidden" behaviour, the default program to view some kinds of files
are bound to Wine, instead of simple Linux programs (eg. above, Notepad instead
of GEdit).

It would be nice to prevent creating those binds, so they're not altered.
Especially for very common files such as text-files...

My distribution is ArchLinux 64 bits.

If you need any more details, please let me know.
