I understand that associating gimp with pdf is correct. So this isn't a bug in gimp, or at most "wishlist". However, opening gimp by default instead of a pdf viewer, has a "grave" impact on usability for desktop users. It is even so "grave" that I can imagine that users switch to another Linux distro. In my view very few users want to open a pdf with gimp, and many users want to open a pdf with the local pdf viewer, if any available. So an easy change making many desktop users happy, would be by removing the association between gimp and pdf. At least for now, until a better solution is found. Let's compare with other programs capable of opening pdf files: libreoffice isn't included in /etc/mailcap. I would like to see gimp follow that example.
