      Description

        The GnomeFileTypeDetector uses the GNOME I/O library if available with fallback to the GNOME VFS, which is deprecated. The MagicFileTypeDetector is superior on Linux (libmagic is used by the 'file' command). On Solaris however if GnomeFileTypeDetector were removed the implementation would depend entirely on ~/.mime.types and /etc/mime.types which are not guaranteed to be present so this could be problematic.
