pdf files associations... how can I change them? [SOLVED]
Basically when I double-click a pdf file from nautilus, gimp opens. I have the gnome-extra packages installed (document viewer for exmaple reads pdf files, no), but I have no idea how to reset the file association from gimp to document viewer. Thanks!

Right click on any pdf file and go into Properties. Then select Open with tab and select the program that you want to open it with.
That is an estimate of what you will have to do. I haven't used Gnome in years...so I could be off a little.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

@inxsible - thanks for the tip. It only seems to have an effect once. In other words, I have to do this each time. I'm looking to reassign the default viewer from gimp-->evince.

and there is no option there to make it the default program to open that type of file with ?
If not, some current gnome user might be better able to assist you. Sorry.

Isn't that exactly what I had suggested in my first post in the thread?? 
Right click on any pdf file and go into Properties. Then select Open with tab and select the program that you want to open it with.
