Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
This is a problem that I have noticed for a number of years on several different machines and several different Ubuntus. It is customary for a file manager to display documents of different filetype as icons of associated with that filetype. Nautilus, by default, my displays documents using a default document icon. This is the case for .pdf files and .lyx files. [I have turned off the option to display .pdf as a thumbnail]. I have experimented with only these two filetypes. I used assogiate to set the filetype icons for .lyx and .pdf filetypes to ones of my choosing. These save properly in assogiate. When I run assogiate the new icons show for these filetypes and the machine has been halted and booted again since I set them. However, Nautilus persists with displaying the default icon for both .pdf and .lyx files.
