Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

After update 10/6/2009 most files are being considered "plain text" and Nautilus tries to open them with gedit.

This happens with .odf .pdf .sla .doc.

If I change the default opening program in properties, the previously mentioned file types are still considered plain text and Nautilus tries to open all of them them in the new default program. (For example: opens .pdf and odf in Scribus.)
