--- Comment #7 from Alex Henrie alexhenrie24@gmail.com --- If I understand correctly, this bug report proposed an alternative solution to the problem: Check if there is already a program that can open files of a particular type, and if there is, don't allow winemenubuilder to associate any program with that type.
Wine's current solution is better, I think: winemenubuilder simply doesn't create associations for most of Wine's own programs like Wine Notepad and Wine Internet Explorer. When you install Windows programs in Wine, those programs will associate themselves with their file types, overriding previous associations, just like they would on Windows. That means that you can, for example, install Notepad++ as your default text editor even if you had a Linux-native text editor installed already.
My impression is that everybody is pretty happy with the current solution, so I am resolving this bug as WONTFIX.
