I wonder where mc gets the instruction to load /usr/bin/dolphin when I enter on a pdf file?
See if you can find something interesting: $ find ~/.local -name mime*
Well, that got me a file called .local/share/xfce4/helpers/custom-FileManager.desktop that contained the instruction to load /usr/bin/dolphin. So I changed dolphin to nautilus and voila: I got nautilus.
When I removed the xfce4 directory from .local/share, the most weird thing happened. Restarting MC I entered on the pdf again, and this time got an XFCE request to choose a default filemanager. Remark that I am working from gnome!
Ok, so apparantly MC has a connection to XFCE4 even if it is not running. What does MC want with XFCE configuration? Why does it want to open a filemanager in stead of a pdf reader?
I attached the 2 dialogs in screenprint I got from mc.

This works for me.
$ cp /etc/mc/mc.ext ~/.config/mc/
$ sed -i 's//usr/libexec/mc/ext.d/doc.sh open pdf/\ xpdf ${MC_EXT_FILENAME} >/dev/null 2>&1 &/g' ~/.config/mc/mc.ext
$ grep xpdf ~/.config/mc/mc.ext xpdf ${MC_EXT_FILENAME} >/dev/null 2>&1 &
If this doesn't work for you, start over with a clean user environment.
