Exactly! that is the problem I have been having with texmacs on Ubuntu during
the last 2-3 years. The .tm mime type is not recognized. The procedure to have
it recognized is more or less the one described here:

http://adrianus.wordpress.com/2007/02/07/howto-add-new-mime-types-and-icon-for-
visio-document-in-ubuntu/

By applying these instructions I succeeded several times in fixing the 
problem,
but any upgrade destroyed the result. 

I think that it should be the job of the .deb install script to add correctly
all the mime types and icons in the right places. 

I could not yet install a functioning texmacs 1.07 from the deb, but the
problem with the mime types is exactly the one I stumbled upon for such a long
time.
