Hmm. That seems like a bug to me. In fact, there is trac issue #11795 [1] which addresses this. It changes the interface for setting the different viewers and also fixes this particular bug. I would definitely suggest trying it out and making any comments on the ticket about how it works, especially if there are things that still don't work. It was updated in the last 12 hours, so people are working on it.
