	Hmmm.... Ver-r-ry interessttingg : 

[btth at Hbsk3 ~]$ xdg-mime query default text/html
firefox.desktop
[btth at Hbsk3 ~]$ rpm -ql google-chrome-beta midori firefox | grep desktop
/usr/share/applications/fedora-midori.desktop
/usr/share/applications/midori-private.desktop
/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop

	I have neither chrome nor chromium installed, so I also tried : 

[btth at Hbsk3 ~]$ rpm -ql google-chrome-beta arora dillo | grep desktop
/usr/share/applications/fedora-arora.desktop
/usr/share/applications/fedora-dillo.desktop

	Then I substituted, but got a surprise : 

[btth at Hbsk3 ~]$ xdg-mime default </usr/share/applications/fedora-
dillo.desktop> text/html
bash: text/html: No such file or directory
[btth at Hbsk3 ~]$ 

	Almost all of that is c&p; so what did I do wrong?
