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.
