I don't know your particular setting, but I'm twice surprised by what
you're reporting. First, I installed screem (0.10.2-1ubuntu2) on
warty, and it didn't hijack the "plain text" mime type. Second, the
manipulation described above (right-click on any text file,
properties, open with...) changes the default behaviour for all files
of this particular type (I replaced gedit with emacs for a file named
output.log, and now text files ending with txt or not, configuration
files in  ~, etc open in emacs). Beware, it's not exactly the same as
"right-click, open with...".
