Google Chrome doesn't open files with any applications

Hey all,

After downloading stuff, it is desirable to open the files downloaded; however this is made difficult on my Arch system because Chrome doesn't know what to open the files with, nor does it ask.

I'm using SLiM, xmonad, and have a rather minimalistic set up.
Secondary to this, Chrome cannot determine by itself whether it is the default browser application.

I don't know where I could provide this information to Chrome, Can anybody help?

Thanks
