I understand what you're saying :-\       It makes sense.  I think that 
the bug is probably in the xorg documentation package (because it uses 
*.PS instead of *.ps).  I don't exactly know how to file a bug report 
(or even if it is necessary), so I think that I might just use 
file-roller as is.  I think that I can add my own application to the 
list of "Recent applications" and "open" the files that way.  Thanks to 
all for your helpful replies!
