This only changes the text editor for that type of file. Many different
types of file open with a text editor, and it should be possible to
change the system default for all of them.

It should also be possible for each user to specify their default text
editor. I prefer to use gvim for all my text editing needs, but I can
see that other users of the system would prefer the current default of
gedit.
