I get a similar issue with Inkscape files (on Hardy). Double-clicking in
Nautilus runs Inkscape, but selecting the same file from "Places->Recent

I noticed that the MimeType of xcf files is correctly detected by
nautilus, however, file detects application/octet-stream (which is a
synonym of unknown) instead of image/x-xcf. GNOME use MimeTypes to
identify files and GIMP registers the image/x-xcf MimeType in his
desktop file in /usr/share/appl
I think this is a gnome bug and not a GIMP bug.
The reason I say this is because of the error message "Could not find a
suitable application". So Gimp has not started at all yet, because gnome
doesn't know what to do with the file.
Please correct me if my understanding is incorrect.
