I have always used MC as my commandline filemanager and really like

understandable, because by default gnome uses a different file manager
(Nautilus I think).
I haven't used MC for ages, but can you try simply changing the
preferences for what MC uses to open PDF files? MC may have defaulted
for using a KDE client, instead of something else.
Some things palm off opening files to some other file handler, such as
gnome-open, or xdg-open (the latter is less biased towards a particular
desktop), which check the file to see what it is, then open it with an
appropriate default program. If MC does that, it may be that you need
to configure /that/ handler instead of MC.
Actually, MC doesn't show anything in "Command / Edit extension file"
where I would expect PDF files to be specified, as far as I can see they
are not. Still, MC tries to open /usr/bin/dolphin, which I haven't
installed and don't want to install.
I checked out xdg-mime (thanks poma) and it shows xpdf as executable
(which *is* installed):
[gbonnema@mahatma ~]$ xdg-mime query default application/pdf
xpdf.desktop
So I was wondering, could the pdf extention be hidden in a regular
expression in such a way that I don't recognize it as being pdf? I have
no idea why mc wants to load /usr/bin/dolphin.
Kind regards, Guus.
