Ok, so after investigation the bug is not a gtk one but one in those softwares, their exec line should have a % argument to specify they can take filenames on their command line:

Bug description:
  Nautilus in 11.10 doesn't associate the right application to SGF
  files.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Install an application to open SGF, like Quarry.
  2. Check if MIME types are configured correctly with "mimeopen whatever.sgf". They are, as expected quarry is launched.
  3. In nautilus, this file type is associated to gedit. Try to associate it again. Right button click on the file. "Properties->Open with" window doesn't list quarry as an application. New nautilus version in 11.10 doesn't allow custom command lines.
  4. No way to associate SGF files, regression from 11.04
