Found those lin-win differences:
GFile from path /home/josip/test.html on linux or C:\test.html on win32.
query_info() on them and
get_content_type() return: "text/html" on linux and ".html" on win32
g_content_type_get_mime_type() return "text/html" on both.
g_content_type_get_description() return "HTML document" on linux and 
"Firefox Document" on win32.
Finally g_content_type_from_mime_type() return again "text/html" on 
linux but "(null)" on win32. Is that null what cause the problem?
