Appropriate examples, since in both cases, those are the best-of-breed
applications that provide that functionality (opening text files and
viewing images).

Anyway, I don't want to continue with what many currently consider to be

to minimize the problem, hopefully keeping everybody happy and improving
the Fedora desktop at the same time (yeah... world peace will also  be
included :)
