Ah, forgot to mention that I've looked there already.  There is no mention of
PDF there, and I can't find a way to add an entry to it.

Firefox used evince before I installed gimp, so it must be picking up
available applications from somewhere, right?

It also seems to pick up much more than just the name of the executable, since
it displays the choice "GNU Image Manipulation Program (d..." in the dialogue.

But where, and how do I change the settings?
