 # In order to remove an application from the automatically-generated list of
 # applications for handling a given MIME type, the desktop environment may copy
 # the global .desktop file into the user's .local directory, and remove that
 # MIME type from its list. In that case, we must restore the MIME type to the
 # application's list of MIME types before we can set it as the default for that
 # MIME type. (We can't just delete the local version, since the user may have
 # made other changes to it as well. So, tweak the existing file.)
 # This function is hard-coded for text/html but it could be adapted if needed.
