Hello Ilya, that's probably both an easy and tough one: * File zzz.desktop is the renamed version of gimp.desktop. That's specific to Gentoo. * gimp.desktop is made from [gimp-2.8.2]/desktop/gimp.desktop.in.in and its @MIME_TYPES@ is filled during runtime of ./configure (which is generated from configure.ac at packaging time). * configure.ac has code to add mime type "application/pdf" twice, first by # The list of MIME types that are supported by plug-ins that \ # are compiled unconditionally: MIME_TYPES="application/postscript;application/pdf;[..]" and a second time by ## If both poppler and cairo-pdf are enabled then we have \ # complete PDF support if test "x$have_cairo_pdf" = xyes && test "x$have_poppler" = xyes; then MIME_TYPES="$MIME_TYPES;application/pdf" fi Either "application/pdf" is truly independent of any build time options (i.e. it's unconditional) or it requires cairo and poppler. Once we know which, one addition of "application/pdf" can be picked for removal. Now the question is: How do we approach upstream about it, best? To make them want to fix it would be cool to offer - a demo minimal .desktop file and the command line to trigger this very warning - ideally, a rationale why this is relevant to them beyond just killing the warning for us. Any help would on that end would rock. Have you opened bugs at GNOME's bugzilla before?
