Hmm, so when I right-click on an html file in nautilus and choose Open With > Other Application..., it gives me a nice long list of text editors including vim & emacs that aren't in the menu by default. From there its trivial to tell GNOME that I want gvim in the menu, to be the default handler, or to just use it this time. Perhaps this isn't "discoverable" enough (to use old Eazel parlance).
