Public bug reported:
For some dumb reason, thunderbird is opening pdfs with totem instead of
a decent pdf reader.
I'm aware I can override and configure all this in Thunderbid, but IMO
the default should Just Work.
I don't have the patience atm to weed through all the xdg-open and mime
and .desktop-files spaghetti shit to figure out why the f*ck a
mediaplayer would ever be the default to open a pdf when decent pdf
readers are available on my system, but I'm pretty sure totem is at
fault here for announcing to the system somewhere that it is able to
handle pdfs.
