I�ve got a similar problem. There are some jpg Files and some other extentions, but all picture. If i want to open these files, Debian always asks, which program to use to. I installed GTKView and want it to be the default application for pictures. If I click at a html file, Debian knows, that he have to use Mozilla to open file.
