Please consider which package you report bugs against.
What you're currently reporting is that baobab work.... NOT A BUG! :P

I'm reassigning this bug report to MATE, but this means now this
bug reports misses all relevant meta-data added by reportbug.
Please followup to this bug report with that so the MATE maintainers
have the information they need to deal with this issue and remove
the moreinfo tag while doing so.

>From what I can see the mate-session-manager sets the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
environment variable, see:
http://codesearch.debian.net/results/XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP%20package%3Amate-session-manager/page_0

... while at the same time it doesn't provide defaults.list et.al. in
the relevant location. This means one of the applications matching
the mime type will be used at "random" (and other kinds of unrelated
breakage from the rest of the missing files).

cf. gnome-session-common and xfce4-session

Me too. Please file bug reports against mate for mate issues in the future.
We're busy enough as it is on the Gnome side without having to also
work on fixing MATE.
