Oops - you're absolutely right.  I just installed Bibble5 and it does 
indeed show up as the default application after install, but is not in 
Shotwell's list of available RAW editors.  Similarly, GIMP should show 
up in Shotwell's RAW editor list (at least if I've installed the UFRaw 
GIMP plugin) but does not.  So I believe this is a Shotwell bug.  I've 
filed a ticket at http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2194 .  There may still 
be a chance we can solve this for the impending 0.6 release.

Good question.  Perhaps image/x-dcraw implies image/x-canon-cr2 somehow, 
but I don't know more about this.  Perhaps one of the Shotwell coders 
can say more about this.
