In Nautilus, right-click on a file and choose Properties. Go to the "Open With" tab. Click "Add" if the program you want to use to open files of that type is not in the list - and add that program. Finally, select the program from the list (radio-button) that you want to use to open files of that type. It should work right away - no need to restart the machine like on other OS'es, hehe. Voila.
