[Bug 1769420] [NEW] Odd lxqt-config-file-associations for .jpg and .pdf

[Scott Cowles Jacobs]

Public bug reported:

I have Lubuntu Next 18.04

I do not know if the Lubuntu team modifies the file associations to match the 
release,
or if the file associations are an LXQt default and are left intact until the 
user
installs the Distro and modifies them.
I don't even know if the associations are modified if one installs (or removes) 
an application package.
Therefore, I don't know if this is the right place to report this or not.

At some point after I installed Lubuntu Next, and some favorite
applications to supplement or replace those in the default install, I
noticed some strange file associations...

A .pdf file currently is associated with LibreOffice Draw (which is unable to 
open it, and reports "This PDF file is encrypted and can't be opened. ")
I would have expected an association with qpdfview (which opens the file just 
fine, as expected).

Although I have since apparently fixed it, .jpg files were associated with 
Firefox.
Since Firefox was not originally installed, I might guess that the association 
was with a generic browser, which originally pointed to Falkon, but which the 
installation of Firefox then switched to that browser.
In any event, I might have expected an association with LXImage, as that is 
LXQt's image viewer.

[There also was some weird association with e-book-viewer(or -editor), but I 
negligently managed not to write that down.  It either was .txt or .odt]
