Bug Description

I'm using Ubuntu Breezy Badger Colony 3.

Firefox is set as the default application to open SVG files. I"m not sure why
this is the case since Firefox is not even capable of opening SVG at the moment.
EOG should probably be made the default program to be used for the SVG mime type
as EOG is the default for other image formats.
