   Prob. getting the system default (by MIME type) fro PDFs, althoug why 
that's gsview I don't know!  I suffred gpdf being loaded in pref. to acroread 
till I [mostly] fixed it.

   Check /usr/share/applications/defaults.list

   I have:

application/pdf=AdobeReader.desktop

   I don't exactly recall, but there was something that even that didn't fix 
it for, so I uninstalled gpdf.


   Customisation of file types is one of those places where GNOME's 
unfortunately disappeared up it's own backside :-(
