in thread Can't open Perl output from within Nautilus

Actually, all sane software on a Unixoid system should be using .mailcap and .mime.types (see man 5 mailcap and man 5 mime.types). Last I checked, this was the case for the filemanagers (and other tools) of both desktops.

Makeshifts last the longest.
