My .exe filetype is correctly set on Nautilus properties to open with either WINE or MONO. However, when I double-click on a mono .exe file nothing happens. And if I right click to select "open with", it does not say anything about wine or mono but instead it has two pygtk gfx apps as options! I have to go manually open these files each time...
This task depends upon

Something is wrong with mime-types.
BTW, what are those python gfx apps?

Gajim and Griffith. WINE is also there now, but Mono is not. Mono is the SELECTED application in the Nautilus properties panel for .exe apps. But not only it doesn't load mono, but there is no "open with mono" choice, is just going away each time i right click on any .exe file.

I don't know what you did to gajim, but it doesn't have mime types registered in the .desktop file, so it's impossible that one could have hijacked .EXE files. Griffith registers application/x-executable as MimeType, which is plain wrong.

I had to add mono as executable handler myself using nautilus, which works fine on my system. I'm running gnome 2.18 RC1 or RC2 though, so it could be fixed in a later release than we have in the repositories right now. I hope to make some progress on gnome 2.18 somewhere next week.
