It looks like it probably _does_. From the gnome.org docs:

  Understanding how to refresh the MIME database is important for
  administrators who wish to add new MIME types to the system, or otherwise
  modify information about a MIME type. The application update-mime-database
  is intended for this purpose.

But that's a long thread I don't want to sidetrack this with.
