In Lubuntu I can change the default applications using Default applications for LXSession. It saves the default applications in the configuraion file /home/USER/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/desktop.conf.



Now, I'd like to change default applications by editing the desktop.conf file. So, I change/save the desktop.conf file or overwrite it with the one from another machine. But when I re-open Default applications for LXSession. it does not show the changes.



How can I change the default applications using the configuration file? Do I need to run a command after editing the file?
