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.
