I was using application/x-directory because that is what xdg-mime
query returned for a directory. In any case, changing the command
doesn't help either.

$ xdg-mime default fedora-Thunar-folder-handler.desktop inode/directory
$ xdg-open chhobi/

The last command tries to open the directory in evince again.

Out of the above two, after running the "xdg-mime default ..."
command, the first is the same as yours but the second did not have
the inode/directory line. Putting it by hand doesn't change the
behaviour in any way.
