On fresh images file-browsers do not know how to open files and usually open a
dialog with ALL applications available on the machine. This is not what users
are used to when working with linux: For just one application installed per
Mime-Type, the application is opened automatically.
To get a working MIME on desktop it needs two 'databases' on target:
1. Mime-Types: This is handled by mime.bbclass and creates database in
/usr/share/mime/mime.cache.
2. Mime associations: A simple text-list of pairs Mime-Type <-> application
in /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
This patch series updates/implements/enhances both parts to get images work as
expected.
@Khem: This series creates many QA warnings for layers in meta-openembedded and
a patch series fixing many was prepared [1]. Once this series get's applied (or
you ask for it) I can send them out.

V1 -> V2:
* Shelve global path export thingy
* Add me as maintainer of itstool (let's consider 'ü' in my name as test case :)
* Change "to to" to "to" in commit message
* Build shared-mime-info from git to allow automated upgrades
* mime-xdg.bbclass: Be prepared for packages as libreoffice: Desktop files
installed are absolut symlinks broken for us. In case other projects do same:
Offer asolution and guide recipe writers how to handle by generating warnings
with instructions how to handle.
