I'm trying to set an associated application for magnet: URLs. I've created a directory magnet in .mateconf/desktop/mate/url-handlers and copied and edited stuff from http directory. I've restarted system several times and checked with mateconf-editor, everything is all right. I also manually added keys in .mateconf/apps/mateconf-editor/%mateconf.xml and line in.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list . Nothing helps. Chromium, which calls magnet links with xdg-open command still calls for Transmission even as I have set KTorrent in all these places. Konqueror works with strange results, Epiphany doesn't recognize magnet links at all and Iceweasel have it's own preferred apps list. So I guess, it's not working at all. I'm running MATE on Debian/wheezy installation.

Contents of ~/.mateconf/desktop/mate/url-handlers/%mateconf.xml:
