I meant a dialog (instead of an alert)

While waiting on your responses I did the following:

-- # update-desktop-database
-- removed 'AdobeReader.desktop' in /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
   in the line with application/pdf leaving there just 'xpdf.desktop'. 

That eliminates the need to select between those two viewers, and I may
press 'open' at once.

I would like to have xpdf started at once, though.
