OK, so what happens if you click on an HTML link in a mail client? Did
it try and launch Epiphany? Or click on an HTML file in the desktop?
As far as I understand it, that works by reading a MIME-type from an
extension.

If reading the MIME-types is not working, that's pretty serious and
we should get it fixed.

Can we narrow this down to a MIME-type bug? Can I check someone has
reproduced this problem in a sample app (so we know it is nothing to
do with our own code). And they remembered to ensure that MIME type
was built into wx (we currently advise compiling with --disable-mimetype)
and the MIME manager was properly initialized?
