Thanks, I just learned about the "Open With" in Nautilus, but that
doesn't appear to have any way to show the File Types and Programs
dialog that I remember. The "Open With" menu item simply launches the
application you provide.

Is anyone else having trouble launching the "PDF Viewer" from Galeon
with a recent sarge update?

I'm running Sarge which is currently at Gnome 2.8.
