Correct me if I'm wrong, but this doesn't seem like it should do
anything; what you describe is:
1) I was set to "Open With Application" (ggv)
2) I set it to "Use Viewer" and treat it like postscript
3) Set it back to "Open With Application" (which is still ggv)

And then ditto for application/postscript.

So unless I'm misunderstanding something, it's not really changing
anything per say, but tricks the capplet into thinking I've dirtied the
page & that it needs to apply changes.

I tried it anyways, though, and I can still view inline postscript, but
not PDFs. Since your message brought that panel to mind, though, I tried
setting application/pdf to "Use Viewer" and treat it like postscript,
but that didn't fix it either.

Is there maybe some major component I need to kick to get it to see
changes? I tried closing evolution (and then killev'ing just to be
paranoid) in case your fix worked & my copy of evolution just had stale
information, but that didn't help either.
