[svlug] How to change file associations?

[Jeff Frost]

It's likely configured in the .mailcap file in your home directory.  Mine has 
this entry for pdfs:

application/pdf;acroread %s

Lots of applications use this, but I suspect in the modern window managers, 
there are other places to make these changes as well.
