Don't know anything about MATE. And you've not said anything about "how" you are opening the file. However, in GNOME 3 and using Nautilus to open the file...all you need to do is right click on the file, choose Properties and then make the selection in the "Open with" tab and make it the default. In KDE using Dolphin it seems it is already configured that way. "System Settings"--->"File Associations". Search for *.rtf and LibreOffice is at the top of the list. -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
