 Thanks, but this still looks more like a workaround than a fix. Does gnome
 really require it? I don't remeber playing with the "Open With" tab on
 Gentoo where I use galeon without problems (but I can be wrong, I use
 nautilus there). Could't it be fixed by distributing some .desktop file
 with xpdf?
