Different program file associations in GNOME Trash folder

So, for example, I've set up GNOME to run all *.avi files with mplayer. Now if I delete an *.avi file to a Trash folder and run it from there Banshee is used as a default associated program. In fact, mplayer is not in the "Open With..." sub-menu (only in Properties for this file but it is ignored anyway as I just described.)

I've no idea why GNOME acts this way but I can provide some background information that might help pinpointing the real issue here. I first ran KDE on my Arch Linux setup. Somewhere along the way I decided to try GNOME and so I installed it alongside with KDE. When I first ran GNOME I had many files associated with KDE's programs (torrent files for instance).

I'm relatively new to GNOME and maybe I should've clicked some magic button that re-creates an index of file association for GNOME but so far I haven't discovered one

So, what can be done about this issue?
