How to make eog default instead of GIMP?

After I installed GIMP, whenever I open an image file, from firefox download window, or nautilus, it is opened by GIMP, but I need to change the default to EOG, I checked /usr/share/applications/gimp.deskop eog.desktop, both have several image type in mime.. section, can I just delete gimp.desktop 's mime section to make it work?
Thanks!

u can right click on the image file go to properties go to open with and find u should see image viewer just click on that one if not go to add and find eog
in /usr/bin/eog u have to look at the use a custom command

Thanks a lot! I just find another solution, edit  /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache as root and reorder mime type such like:
audio/x-wav=mplayer.desktop;totem.desktop
into:
audio/x-wav=totem.desktop;mplayer.desktop
so the first preferred application used to open wav file is totem instead of mplayer
