xdg-open with gnome shell

[Adam Pribyl]

Does anybody know what is a replacement for 
gnome-default-applications-properties, or how the setup of xdg-open 
should work under gnome shell?

For me
$ xdg-open Pictures/
which: no gnome-default-applications-properties in ..

xdg is looking for gnome-default-applications-properties binary, which is 
missing in gnome-shell and it fallbacks to KDE apps. Therefore I have 
many KDE apps autostarted in gnome instead (e.g. dolphin instead 
nautilus for the Picture case).

I did not found a bug about it, so it looks like this is working for 
everybody, but me?

Thanks
