 I actually don't recall if a recursive grep looks in hidden
directories...

 Interesting -- most of mine seem to want mousepad.desktop; wonder if I
removed leafpad back when I installed gVim.

 As I believe I had mentioned

 I suspect Geany is being picked up from its .desktop list of MIME
types.

 Note: removing the Python MIME type from the geany.desktop file may not
be sufficient. Recall that Python3 is a subclass of Python and Python is a
subclass of text/plain, so if geany.desktop lists text/plain, it is still a
candidate for Python files. That's why I commented out the subclass for
Python -> text/plain -- in my case so that LibreOffice Writer was not a
candidate.
