I think we even started an etherpad on the topic. I'll look. The issue is ripe
for R14 and very important. Especially for setting the order of helper
applications in file-association. Image files are the worst. You have about 10
choices all jumbled together. Then whether to preview or launch and external
application.

I'll report back on whether I found the etherpad. If not, let's just put our
heads together and go through the file-associations and come up with a sane
default strategy.
