I have this exact same problem (using Ubuntu Dapper, up to date via online
repositories). I tried creating a new "test" user, and logging in as that
user, so that the default Ubuntu desktop settings would be applied. But the
problem still exists for that user.
On a folder in Nautilus, my right-click menu shows (among other things):
Open with "Filelight"
Open with "Konqueror"
Open with Other Application...
If I choose the "Other Application" option, I can select "XMMS music player"
from the list, and that works (plays the music files). But this application is
not remembered in the "Open with ..." choices in the right-click menu.
Also, instead of choosing "Open with Other Application...", I can choose
"Properties" from the bottom of that menu. This brings up a tabbed dialog.
The "Open With" tab lists the options I can use to open a "folder":
Filelight
Konqueror
Open Folder (this option is selected)
Clicking the "+ Add" button is also ineffective at adding "XMMS" to the list of
options.
And clicking any of the two non-selected items fails to change the selected
item - the radio bullet will not move from "Open Folder" to any other
bullet-hole.
In summary, it behaves as if the list is somehow "read-only".
I wonder if this bug is a duplicate of #35463 ?
