Actually, MC doesn't show anything in "Command / Edit extension file" 
where I would expect PDF files to be specified, as far as I can see they 
are not. Still, MC tries to open /usr/bin/dolphin, which I haven't 
installed and don't want to install.

I checked out xdg-mime (thanks poma) and it shows xpdf as executable 
(which *is* installed):

[gbonnema at mahatma ~]$ xdg-mime query default application/pdf
xpdf.desktop


So I was wondering, could the pdf extention be hidden in a regular 
expression in such a way that I don't recognize it as being pdf? I have 
no idea why mc wants to load /usr/bin/dolphin.
