I found the appropriate one for this, but now it looks as though all the
(nautilus?) file associations were eliminated - jpgs don't open in the
image viewer any more, etc.  I've been doing these manually as I run
across them, but they don't operate the way they used to (e.g., the
image viewer does not allow panning through the images in a directory
the way it did before).

What happened?
