Dear Matthew,

Well that certainly works, thanks for the tip. I had not thought of
that, I guess I was not expecting Gnome to be soooo user friendly that
that would actually work :)

The question remains why the central 'preferred applications' dialog
does not allow for adjustment of these preferences? Time for filing a
bug?

Thanks a lot!
