Can't tell you from looking at it.  "default" is used when you aren't
using session management, one of your two sesssion management directories
is probably dead.  I'd go to ~/.gnome/panel.d and use "rgrep -r pager *",
and fiddle with each file it gives me.

I'd call that a bug, the docs say it checks the EDITOR variable. 
http://bugs.gnome.org/Reporting.html for info on how to submit a bug
report.

Yup, I just recreated that on my machine, that also looks like a bug to
me.  Even worse, all the mouse actions directed at the viewer window were
being badly passed through to the gmc window.  You should probably submit
that one too.

Best of Luck,
