[Bug 799585] [NEW] cannot change "open with" option to non-standard program

[Susan Cragin]

Public bug reported:

In Oneiric, you cannot change the program used to open a file to a non-standard program. 
I use the daily build of Libreoffice, which is loaded in the /opt/ folder. 
There is no way I can get to the program from the oeneric interface other than by calling the program up in a terminal. 
This is incredibly inconvenient.
