I have same kind of problem with .ps files. Nautilus thinks that .ps files
are html files and it tryes to open as a web page when double clicking it.
I have checked from GNOME mime types in Control Panel and in there default
application for opening is Gnome Ghostview (which it should). It seems to me
that Nautilus doesn't use GNOME's own mime types but it's own. Am I wrong or
am I wrong?

Sami
