Bug Description
1) Oneiric
System Settings → System Info → Default Applications
Issue reproted by OP: png, gif, svg, xpm (maybe more) do not open with correct application.
2) Precise
System Settings → Details → Default Applications
Issue reported in Bug #924388: Video opens with Totem even if VLC is selected as default
3) Upstream:
System Settings → Details → Default Applications
Issue reported in Gnome-bugs #662191: Setting default music player only works for ogg vorbis files
What you expected to happen:
1) When changing the default image viewer in from 'Image Viewer' to 'Shotwell Viewer' a double click on any image should open the image in 'Shotwell Viewer'.
2) When changing default video player, all video files should open using that app.
3) When changing default music player, all music files should open using that app.
What happened instead:
1) When clicking on a png, gif, xpm or svg file Ubuntu will open them in 'Image Viewer' instead of the system default image viewer → 'Shotwell Viewer'.
2) Videos open in Totem even though VLC is selected to be default.
3) Default music player only works for ogg files

Thank you for your bug report, that setting is for photos though, not image, it's worth noting also that shotwell only handle the photo formats, not gif, xpm etc
