One has to love xdg-utils ...
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14290 

Just a maybe-useful information... 
A quick workaround (while waiting the new features in xdg-utils) is uninstall
and then re-install zim.

The workaround works for me. 

Many thanks! 

Is there any chance of resolving this bug without the workaround? 

Should be fixed with,

+*zim-0.28 (21 Jul 2009)
+
+  21 Jul 2009; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> +zim-0.28.ebuild,
+  +files/zim-0.28-disable-updates.patch:
+  Version bump.

Great! 

Many thanks!
