Why changing the default app for the "text/x-matlab" type, which
ordinarily carry the ".m" extension, puts the system in such a situation
that it can no longer deal with it?

After the change, what is now causing the conflict between the "text/x-matlab" 
mimetype and its standard ".m" extension?
Did Nautilus forget to write down in some xml file that the ".m" extension is 
still compatible with "text/x-matlab"? Where/how should it have been written?
What extension(s) is Nautilus thinking that such a type should have, at  that 
point? 
Can the Nautilus way of applying the "default app" setting be corrected so that 
Nautilus doesn't think that ".m" is incompatible with "text/x-matlab" 
afterwards?

If the system does not allow different mimetypes with the same extension
be opened with different default applications, what is the advantage of
finely recognizing the mimetype? Couldn't it be enough using the
extension only?

Thank you again

Lurix
