Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  By having this option enabled by default when used on dir.'s the app
  chosen is set as the new default folder handler.

  This is causing users problems, more every day,  and there is no benefit to having it as a default active option (not sure if the option has any value at all.
  With the box inactive  - when used on dir.'s the app chosen will still be added to the 'open with' menu, but not set as default folder handler.
  (( while having the box active for files causes no issues, again having it inactive does not prevent the choice from being added to the 'open with' menu for that mimetype, so the simple fix for the moment would be to just make inactive period.

  As simple as 
  gtk_toggle_button_set_active (GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON (dialog->details->checkbox), FALSE);
