New version in Extras-devel (1.2.13) has rudimentary, hackish support for mimetypes. If your file doesn't have a recognised file extension, it will try to match the file to a recognised mimetype.
I have added a new file,
/home/user/.mimetypes/user-mimetypes.list
which you must edit by hand. Find the mimetype in the incredibly long list (taken from my desktop Ubuntu defaults.list) and change the "none" to the name of the handler (from the Handlers list in the GUI).
I have defined one mimetype as an example, application/pdf=Evince to show you how to do it (and to keep the invaluable rebhana as my betatester).
And I can now use the Easy Debian version of evince for those formats not supported by native evince, namely postscript files! So I've gained something already! 
For this I had to extend the "incredibly long" user-mimetypes.list file even more, so in time I'll feed back my version of it!Now to a new problem I've encountered:
I believe in the previous version of dbus-switchboard, I could use microB to view my directories and when I clicked on an .odt file, it would open OO Writer immediately. For some reason that doesn't work any longer. Now it obviously tries to run something, because the screen goes black for a while with the little clock ticking away, but then it comes back with nothing. From file manager I can open OO Writer by selecting dbus-switchboard, but as I said, from microB it had done that by itself before. On the other hand, when I open files on the internet with a file extension recognized by dbus-switchboard, I get the option of opening them with it or saving it on the device, so that works.

Are you escaping the URI? Filenames recieved from the browser must be unescaped (the File Manager sends them "properly"). I was using a GLib function, but I bet Python offers such a function (you'll probably find it being used elsewhere in dbus switchboard).

UPDATE:
I think I see the problem: When a local file is clicked via the browser, I am feeding a bad filename to GnomeVFS. There are two // at the beginning of the file path... I think that is a straightforward fix... Thanks again, rebhana.

I've opened the local file Anmeldung.doc with microB, which mimetype (from the libfile-mimeinfo-perl package that I installed in Easy Debian) recognizes correctly:
dbus-switchboard.py says:
EDIT: I should also say that I've chosen OO Writer as the handler for doc files, not the default antiword->pdf. Is there actually antiword for fremantle?
EDIT2: Wow, you two are fast!
Can you tell me where to fix the script?

I'll package up another version ASAP.
Why do they send such a strange parameter?
['//home/user/docname.doc']
The two slashes aren't part of any convention that I'm aware of...
EDIT: Rebhana, do you want to give me your mimetype list extensions?

dbus-switch-apps.cfg:
Code:
OpenOffice,cli,"debbie-sue ooffice ""%params%""" DEvince,cli,"debbie-sue evince ""%params%"""
In dbus-switch-xref.cfg, you could actually map a lot more extensions to OpenOffice, but I haven't made a comprehensive list yet.

I have extended my dbus-switch-xref.cfg such that it covers more completely the files that evince (native and E.D.) and ooffice can display, in case you are interested.

New version (1.2.14) uploaded to Extras-devel:
I am aware that the "old" config files are all reset to package defaults at each update. This is a fairly systemic problem, however, so I am going to address this in a later update. My "new" mimetype list doesn't get updated at all, so if you want the new list, you have two choices: either delete your current list before updating:
...or, after updating, you have to do the following:
And rebhana: Now that I have "real" mimetype support, I'm hoping to make the old-style xref file a secondary resource, only used in the cases where files of the same mimetype can be opened by different handlers depending on extension.

- Worked around the local-files-in-browser-have-extra-leading-slash problem; now you can click on local files in the browser and they will be properly handled by dbus-switchboard.
- rebhana's extra mime types added to user-mimetypes.list (but not his extra associations to OpenOffice, yet).
- "Evince Debian", "OpenOffice" and "VLC" added to handler list
- Antiword removed as default XRef for .doc, replaced with OpenOffice
- rtsp: protocol added to XRefs
- GUI icon improved: added a white border around the ... whatever it is. (side note: I did this in Debian GIMP on-device )
- "unknown/unknown" added to Maemo defaults.list because that seems to be the catch-all for Maemo 5. Now unknown types (like rebhana's .gz file attachments for example!) can be opened by dbus switchboard instead of just downloaded. This is good, even if you don't have a dbus-switchboard handler, because dbus-switchboard now tells you the real mimetype and file extension so you can associate it.
