 In the BeOS days, one of the cool features was that the system knew what a
 file was without an extension.  As such, I have many files around without
 extensions.  If I try to open one of these on hrev45407, MediaPlayer says
 it's not a known type, and Tracker's Identify command does not change the
 file icon.  I rename the file with '.mp4', and MediaPlayer plays it fine,
 and its icon changes in Tracker.  After that I can even rename it back to
 having no extension, and it still works.
