Bug#723718: suggest /etc/mailcap entry for xmore and xwud



retitle 723718 suggest /etc/mailcap entry for xmore and xwud
thanks

xwud could also helpfully have a mailcap entry too.  New proposed
debian/mime file below.  xwud isn't the most sophisticated image viewer,
but xwd is its native format and on a minimal x11 install it could be
all that's available for xwd.

# priority=6 here is below "less" at priority=8.
# Believe "less" in an xterm is more featureful than xmore.
#
# Want to be above Emacs priority=5 entries made by update-mime from
# /usr/share/applications/emacs24.desktop.  Believe xmore is easier
# for standalone use.
#
text/plain; xmore '%s'; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; description=Plain Text; priority=6

# priority=0 here to act as a fallback if some text/foo type has nothing
# specific.
text/*; xmore '%s'; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; description=Plain Text; priority=0

# xwud with no arguments reads from standard input which can let
# run-mailcap or simlar feed it from a pipe rather than a temporary
# file.
# Lowish priority since xwud doesn't have many features.  It's about
# the same as imagemagick "display" so prioirty=2 the same as that.
image/x-xwindowdump; xwud; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; priority=2
