Hi all!
I'm wondering if the following is a bug in Thunar: Essentially, Thunar is presenting Hydrogen as a valid handler for SVG files.
Let me explain further:
The file /usr/share/applications/hydrogen.desktop contains the line
MimeType=text/xml;
Therefore it is no surprise that Hydrogen is used as a handler for XML files within Thunar.
However, SVG files should be of the MIME type "image/svg+xml". So my question is: why does Thunar open SVG files using Hydrogen? Hydrogen does not claim in its *.desktop file to be able to handle files of MIME type image/svg+xml.
I originally reported this as a bug against Hydrogen in Debian, but it might be a Thunar bug according to the response I got there. Please read my original report and the response:
Ref:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=629105
I though I'd test the waters here before filing an actualy bug against Thunar.
Best regards
Torquil Sørensen

The reason is sub-classing: "image/svg+xml" is a sub-class of "application/xml", which has an alias "text/xml". So Hydrogen is the most-likely application on your system to open image/svg+xml files.
This is all defined by the shared-mime-info package.
