Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 16.04.2: After installing xpdf it was not listed in the "Other
Applications" list in "properties" -> "Open With" dialogue of a file.
So this may imply that there are multiple places managing the filetype
<-> application relation.
I had "PDF Mod" set as default appliction for pdf. After removing it
from "Open With" -> "Other Application..." -> "Related Application" xpdf
appeared in "properties" -> "Open With" -> "Default Apllication" but not
in "Open With" -> "Other Application..." -> "Related Applications". In
the first row of the right-click menu of the pdf-file the listed default
application changed randomly between xpdf and something else.
Clicking "Set as default" in the "properties" -> "Open With" after
selecting one application let the xpdf disapear, unable to reselect it.
My other nautilus bug reports may be related to this.
