 Nautilus is needed for that.
 
 But that will not help yet. As xpdf is not registered as a known command.
 
 You need the update-desktop-database tool installed which comes from the 
 sysutils/desktop-file-utils package. nautilus uses 
 update-desktop-database.
 
 Then to make it so it works for galeon:
 
 1) Run natilus
 
 2) In the nautilus file browser fine some PDF file and right-click it.
 
 3) Choose "Properties"
 
 4) Click on the "Open With" tab.
 
 5) Select your PDF viewer (maybe evince is there?)
 
 5b) Or click on "Add" and add /usr/pkg/bin/xpdf.
 
 The above worked for me. Once I did that galeon added a "open" button when 
 I fetch a .pdf file. (This worked even after I closed nautilus.)
 
 I am carbon-copying the nautilus maintainer: Should nautilus also depend 
 on sysutils/desktop-file-utils package? If it is not installed nautilus 
 will complain about missing update-desktop-database command and won't 
 show added command handlers. (When I did install it, I ended up with three 
 "xpdf" choices -- so nautilus did remember, but just didn't show up until 
 I did it again.)
 
 As for galeon: should this depend on nautilus? Or should this just have a 
 MESSAGE. I think a MESSAGE would be good enough.
