I'm feeling really stupid. I have an installation of Trinity on Squeeze where the user uses Icedove for email. For some reason, it wants to open PDF files in GIMP. I see the same thing in other Gnome applications like Evolution.
I've gone to Icedove preferences and tried to change the application type and clicking on other . . . does not produce a dialog box to select an application (like KPDF or acroread). I installed kgtk-config-icedove but that did not help. I even installed Nautilus and tried setting the application association there. That at least presented KPDF as an option in Evolution but not in Icedove. I installed gconf-editor but that does not seem to address application associations.

Trinity on Squeeze, Icedove brings up the dialog box for other applications here. 'edit>preferences>attachments>Portable Document Format '
The default is 'always ask, but the drop down list has Gimp, evince & other. The other bring up the selection box for navigating to the app.
it seems like something is missing or mis-configured.
FYI, Gnome Desktop might not work since Icedove is not a Gnome app, "The goal of Icedove is to produce a cross platform standalone mail application using the XUL user interface language."
Thanks. At least I know it's not a Trinity issue now. I'll have to figure out what is missing that I do not get the selection box. I was hoping kgtk-config-icedove would make it use the KDE information and selection box but it is still pulling the Gnome one. Thanks again - John
