Gnome "Open with" customization

If you added an entry to the "Open with" menu of nautilus (i.e. Gnome file-manager), you currently can not customize the string that is displayed. Maybe you added two entries "xmms" and "xmms -e" (enqueue) for mp3-files. Then both will show up as "xmms" in the "Open with" menu. Thats odd, but customization is possible even though the Gnome makers keep hiding interesting options like that. (Maybe Linus is right about KDE/Gnome? - but then... Gnome is still much more beautiful...)
Having said that, here's the obscure location where nautilus stores your custom "Open with" entries:
~/.local/share/applications
