mimeapps.list patch

I have a proposal for a patch that would fix the behavior through the
mimeapps.list file. 

It's not perfect, because it just sets exo applications (e.g
exo-web-browser.desktop, exo-mail-reader.desktop, etc) as [Default
Applications]

However some applications like Firefox, Thunderbird and Evolution would not be
able to identify themselves as being set as defaults  since they don't read the
helpers.rc file. Depending on how the distro sets them up they might prompt a
dialog asking the user to make them Default and as consequence change
mimeapps.list with their own desktop file instead of the exo one,  if the user
chooses to answer "yes".
