Hi folks

I use galeon 1.3.21 under Fedora Core 3 and Xfce as window manager.
I would like to open PDF files with xpdf and PS files with gv.  

Until an hour ago, here is the behavior i got when I clicked on a
* pdf file: it gave me a blank page within Galeon.  
* ps file: it gave me a dialog box offering to open with "Postscript Viewer";
  responding yes would cause a ggv window to open, with no document rendered.

Then I followed instructions obtained in this list a few months ago
(when I was running an earlier version of Galeon on an earlier version
of Fedora -- back then this procedure did work).  More specifically:

I started Nautilus; right-clicked on PDF file; chose "Open With"; 
added xpdf to the options.  Likewise for a PS file.

Then I restarted Galeon.  I now the the same behavior as described at
the beginning of this message, plus the following error messages

[this one repeated about 50 times at startup]
(nautilus:5834): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Deprecated function.  User
modifications to the MIME database are no longer supported.

[this one printed when I click on a PDF or PS link]
** (galeon:6246): CRITICAL **: file gul-gui.c: line 694
(gul_gui_image_set_from_mime_type): assertion `icon_info != NULL' failed

Thank you for your help.

Silvio
