The desktop file does include: MimeType=application/x-bittorrent; But then I don't know much about .desktop files either, not being a nautilus user. I'm stuck in my old command-line ways, I'm afraid. The existing maintainer for the Fedora Extras bittorrent package appears to be Seth Vidal by the way (who has been busy with yum, plus all sorts of other Fedora Extras stuff). He has a blog at http://blog.sethdot.org/index.cgi though I usually catch it at http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/fedorapeople/ - quite an interesting site for hearing about new things.
