Well, guess I missed your point then.
However,if I understand what your saying correctly, the only thing I've ever seen for a file that wouldn't open automatically is an "open with"
dialog that prety much list all the available programs grouped by menu items as seen in either gnome or kde menus. So, what exactly do you mean by a "file chooser"? That's what I can't get my mind around.
