we had exactly that in Gentoo where Gimp was taking over PDF files by
default, just because it can import PDF and hence announced that mime
type as supported.

For Gentoo, my workaround was to rename gimp.desktop to zzz-gimp.desktop
during installation, and that's still done today [1], but it's nowhere
near a fix and not without problems [2].

So if you get that situation improved, that would surely be nice.

Thanks and best



Sebastian
