Title:
  xdg-mime can read .config/ defaults but can never set them

Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  mimeapps.list has changed

  It used to be in .local/share/applications/ . Now it's in .config/ .

  "xdg-mime query default" reads from both locations, but no "xdg-mime
  default NEWSETTING" can ever overwrite a setting in
  .config/mimeapps.list .  It writes to
  .local/share/applications/mimeapps.list only.
