These don't seem different enough to me. There are many cases where opening
a file does the same thing as viewing it. I would prefer "Gnome.View" and
"Gnome.Edit". Uh oh; when the choice is between view and open it's obvious
to make the default open, but if the choice is between view and edit there's
no obvious default. Hmmm...

(Please CC me on replies as I don't get this list.)
