Default application preferences are for when you ask the system to do open something. If you were to do some mouse clicking on a DVD, then here would be an appropriate place to set the default application.
Well. i don't see it as a misunderstanding on my behalf.. i didn't made 2 applications to manage preferred applications.
If it helps, this exact example came up on one of the devel lists last week as a really ugly part of Gnome which was being actively worked on for the next release. Preferred applications will hopefully be a lot cleaner in the next version of Gnome.
