> 1. are the files executable in the terminal? if so, you should check
the executable flags. this may be obvious, but it's worth looking into.

I think this needs more clarification after this long time. The files
affected by this bug have there gear icon on the file missing (that I
was refering to in the startpost as executable files which wasn't
accurate). They look then just like simple text files.


> 2. are they only files that use #!/usr/bin/python? what about python3? what about #!/usr/bin/env python? for that matter, where does /usr/bin/python point to? it is a symbolic link after all.

At least Python 2, Python 3 and C files are currently affected by this
bug (but PCManFM is correctly detecting the file types and I got the
hint in the PCManFM tracker that this bug is probably related to an
icon-theme). But I remember to have encountered more file types in the
past.


> furthermore, what are the versions of everything are we talking about? what 14.10 image? a release or a daily image? which one? what is the last version you can say this was working with?

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 dev with shared-mime-info 1.1-0ubuntu4. For a few days after upgrading the system I have noticed that python-files aren't shown as executable files anymore. I have already opened a bug report on upstream for this: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68494
  But I'm not sure if this is really a bug in shared-mime-info because after downgrading shared-mime-info, PCManFM and libfm to the versions from Ubuntu 13.04 (libfm-data, libfm-gtk-bin, libfm-gtk-data, libfm-gtk3, libfm3, pcmanfm, shared-mime-info) and rebooting the system the problem still exists.
