Yesterday I stumbled on this in the 'Open with' tab in the file 
properties page of Nautilus 2.7. If your favorite program is not in the 
list, you have to go searching on your own in /usr/bin. Showing the 
application list from the Run dialog is the least I'd expect.

I found this message while checking if someone else had reported this 
before. If there's a bug open on it, I can't find it.

Please cc: me in your reply to the list, thanks.
