Hi Michael, thanks for your quick response. I had a look in the sources myself and noticed that the quoted code is only used if
else if (open_file_with_application (gsearch->window, locale_file) == FALSE) {
which (unfortunately) doesn't happen on my system.
I attached the strace output of opening a PDF file. There you can see how
t-s-t figures out which application to use.
