I don't know if this is the NetBSD way, or the Gnome way, or even the
Xfce4 way, of doing this, but it seems to work:

See to it that a file named 'defaults.list' is located in your home
directory here:

~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list

The file contents should look something like this (if you like xjed):

[Default Applications]
text/plain=xjed.desktop

In the same dir place a file named 'xjed.desktop' whose contents look
something like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=xjed
Comment=
Exec=xjed
Terminal=false
Type=Application

In my case that got 'er done.
