WORKAROUND:
You can tell Thunar what to use as the default application to open any file. For these files, you must do the following as root user in Thunar:
1) Right-clcik the file you wish to open
2) Left-click "Properties"
3) Left-click the arrow at "Opens With: "
4) Left-click the application you want to use for these files
5) Left-click "Close"
6) Right-click the file you wish to open
7) Hover the mouse over "Open with"
8) Left-click the application you chose in step 4 above

The file will now automatically open with the application you chose.

Thank you for reporting this issue. Thunar is suggesting using what it knows will be able to read a text file. Mousepad is the default text editor for Xubuntu. Please explain what you are attempting to do with the file.

crash files are in /var/crash if i dont report crash immidiatly when
they appear then later i open all unposted crash files.
so i wanted to open .crash file with programm that report crash files-
apport crash reporter and that should be default for crash files. it
was in previous versions and in ubuntu

 Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Xubuntu better!

yes that needs to be set in as default and updates dont need to change that..

This bug was fixed in the package xubuntu-default-settings - 10.10.3

---------------
xubuntu-default-settings (10.10.3) maverick; urgency=low

  * Refreshed translations.
  * etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/applications/defaults.list: open crash files using
    apport by default instead of a text editor. lp: #610284
  * etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml: switch to Bluebird.
  * debian/control: depends on xubuntu-artwork (>> 10.10.0).
