Bug#507078: nautilus: fails to recognise mime type

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.20.0-7
Severity: normal

Hi,

Since the installation of Crossover Office, nautilus is unable to show 
the mime type of office document. They all are of unknown type ("type inconnu" in french)
in nautilus. As soon as I uninstall Crossover, everything comes 
back to normal. The annoying thing is that I can't open these files with 
a double-click, even with Open-office.

I want to be clear, I hesitated before sending this bug to nautilus. 
Do not hesitate to reassign this bug, or tell me why I'm wrong. Two 
things helped me to decide and send it as a nautilus bug:
* This works perfectly in Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 so it is not Crossover.
* Iceweasel and Icedove detect office files right, and offer me to open 
it with the right programs so I don't think it is a mime* bug, correct 
me if I'm wrong.

Last thing I'd be happy to test it with a different version of nautilus. 
But i386 nautilus is broken in experimental, and even the build 
dependencies are broken...

Regards,
Bertrand
