Hi,

There is no easy way, allowing a user to say: "The files with .pdf
extension should be opened with Acrobat Reader, and with .txt with gedit".

Please take under consideration, that normal users know nothing about mime
types etc.

I think it should be as easy, as it is in Windows for years ("Open with"
dialog, and option "Do the same in the future").
