Title:
  SRU patch ; 02_dont_set_default.patch should not have been applied  in
  lucid

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  While the patch was proper for nautilus in 10.10 and 11.04 it's not for 10.04
  What's it's doing is now preventing any app from being added to the right click context menu at all. 
  There never was any issue with nautilus-2.30.0, can be clearly seen from a fresh 10.04.2 install

  When a dir. is first opened with something other than nautilus this line is created in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list 
  Using vlc as an example
  inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;vlc.desktop;

  You'll notice that nautilus-folder-handler.desktop; is automatically added to the  front of the line, vlc added on. This assures nautilus remains the default and vlc becomes available from the right click  context menu
  Any additional apps added from the r. click > open with other application will be appended to end of the line, become avail. from the context menu and nautilus remains the default

  With the patched/updated nautilus the line is not created, if it did exist prior to the update nothing will be added to it. 
  The result is no apps will be available directly from the context menu
  It would seem this was not properly tested fot 10.04 and the patch should be reverted for 10.04.3
