Bug description:
Steps to reproduce:
Go to System Settings -> System Info -> Default Applications and change the
default Music and Video application from the default to your liking. In my case
I have Totem (Movie Player) for Music and the VLC media player for Video.
Search for a audio file or video file using the dash and then open it directly
from there. The mp3 file opened with Banshee instead of Totem and the film
opened in Totem instead of VLC. The expected behavior is that they should be
opened by the application that I have selected in System Info -> Default
Applications. (see attached screenshots)
