HTML files, images (which I had previously assigned to view with feh,
available in ports), the "Computer" location in Nautilus -- or any other
location in Nautilus that isn't an on-disk file, archives: basically
everything.

Also, if I try to associate /usr/X11R6/bin/gedit with C files in the "Open 
With" tab under the Properties dialog of a .c file, it doesn't show up in the 
list view of that tab.

Yes, I do, as it's a dependency of gnome2-fifth-toe-2.7.4. Removing gthumb2 
fixes the catalog view problem. But I'd like to think that there's a better 
solution that doesn't break gnome2-fifth-toe, since I use a number of its 
applications extensively and like having the metapackage available to install 
them. Perhaps there's a preference in gthumb somewhere? A cursory browse
through gconf-editor didn't show anything. (there's also a healthy lack
of descriptions for gthumb2's keys. Sigh.)
