* We have included a scribus.xml file for updating the mime info 
database. We are still missing some locales, but in our testing it 
works properly.  We are awaiting IANA approval for our mime type.

An example command to install and refresh the mime database in a spec 
file (distro specfic macros might vary):

%install

install -d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT{%{_desktopdir},%{_pixmapsdir},
%{_datadir}/mime/packages/}
install scribus.xml 
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/mime/packages/scribus.xml

%post
umask 022
[ ! -x /usr/bin/update-desktop-database ] 
|| /usr/bin/update-desktop-database >/dev/null 2>&1 ||:
[ ! -x /usr/bin/update-mime-database ] 
|| /usr/bin/update-mime-database %{_datadir}/mime >/dev/null 2>&1 ||:

%postun 
umask 022
[ ! -x /usr/bin/update-desktop-database ] 
|| /usr/bin/update-desktop-database >/dev/null 2>&1
[ ! -x /usr/bin/update-mime-database ] 
|| /usr/bin/update-mime-database %{_datadir}/mime >/dev/null 2>&1 ||:


The alternative is to install kde and konqueror and use it to set the 
file associations. I do not think Gnome has a means of graphically 
setting mime associations like KDE.
