I think you are correct - I have included this fix in the CVS repository.

The only thing that occurs to me is that the info.plist of nedit.app must say
that it is prepared to open .gdr files - if the app doesn't declare that if
can open the file type then it won't be asked to open it irrespective of
preferences.
If this isn't your problem, the only thing I can suggest to do is to step
through in gdb and see exactly what is happening.
