have you some experience how much are xdg devs communicative about the
run-mailcap
thing ?
Nope but I've mailed Per, who is the Debian package maintainer for LyX and
xdg-utils, to read this thread. Maybe he can give some more information
about the communication with the xdg people about this issue.

Well, I submitted the patch over a year ago:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8158

This looks worthwhile. But it's a distro-specific solution, since run-mailcap doesn't seem available for Fedora and, even if it was, /etc/mailcap looks like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat /etc/mailcap
