Looking at the source directories, it appears to be using the XDG MIME
libraries, including xdgmimeglob.{c,h}  which suggests to me that yes, it
does consider filename extensions. (or should).  Whether ROX is actually
using the information returned by those routines rather than depending on
the file magic information is the question.
