[Gllug] Changing default action for Totem Movie Player

[general_email at technicalbloke.com]

Problem is Nautilus action scripts (I have written quite a few over the
years) are only any use when launching the file from Nautilus. What I'm
after is a way to change the default action when other programs - like
my podcast client - launch the file. That's pretty close though, thanks!

Cheers,

Roger.
