--- Comment #6 from Bakhelit at gmail.com ---
I just finished my configs changes and can confirm that the "[Default
Applications] ..." section works ok also for the "/etc/xdg/mimeapps.list" file.

On my XFCE this results in a stable system wide default MIME type associations
configuration with the usage based reordering of remaining MIME type
associations. One can also quickly restore the system wide MIME type ordering
by deleting the "~/.config/mimeapps.list" file (if both the "[Default
Applications]" and "[Added Associations]" sections are configured in the
"/etc/xdg/mimeapps.list" file). Thus, the automatic usage based reordering can
be temporary, which seems a reasonable design to me.
