Description:
shared-mime-info-0.40-1

Nautilus and PCmanfm can not recognise any file type. Everything is an executable and text file. Evince can not open any file after update.
/etc/mime.types was sliced down to a single line: application/x-java-jnlp-file jnlp
I recovered the file by installing the package mime.types but without success.The file is OK now, but even after restart the problem remains. This way Gnome is not really useful anymore. KDE works fine as long as KDE apps are used.
Downgrade to 0.23 version solves the problem.
The problem is confirmed by lots of users. See http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=50667
Additional info:
* Package: shared-mime-info-0.40-1
* config and/or log files etc.
