To fix this, shared-mime-info needs some fixing
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41286

After that we can remove the invalid mime types from gnumeric.desktop.

Upstream for desktop-file-utils has marked the bug as RESOLVED FIXED, so now we just have to wait for an update to desktop-file-utils (current version in extra is 0.18, but the latest release is 0.19, I just flagged the package: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=desktop-file-utils) and possibly gnumeric.

Updated desktop-file-utils and fixed gnumeric to remove the invalid mime type. Note that I will not be releasing a new gnumeric package just for this, as it's a warning instead of an error now. I will not throw a 10MB download at people just to fix a warning message.
