Title:
  failed to find an app to open a .chm file

Status in Session Installer:
  New
Status in “sessioninstaller” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I double-clicked a .chm file (compiled help) in Nautilus
  sessioninstaller pops up saying no installed app can handle the file
  I ask it to search one for me

  what happen:
  - no app is found
  - a dialog tells me to confirm installing the software (even when there's nothing to install and Install option is disabled)

  what I expected to happen:
  - apps should have been found. There's two apps in the main repo: xCHM and fbReader (i tried xCHM and works fine)
  - I should have been able to install one of those and open the file
  - if there where really no app to handle the file, no "Install software?" dialog should show, just a notice.

  Using Ubuntu 12.04.01
  sessioninstaller: Instalados: 0.20+bzr128-0ubuntu1.2

  I confirmed this on Ubuntu 12.10 as well. Not sure if it's an
  sessioninstaller bug or if it depends on some xCHM package metadata to
  work.
