Yes, that was the trick, thanks.

Actually I'm still missing something: simply dropping an appropriate
gvim.desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ does not make gvim
appearing in the "Open With" menu. /usr/bin/update-desktop-database
should be called before that happens.

Strange enough however, neither emacs21 nor abiword invoke
update-dekstop-database in their postinst script ...

I will investigate this issue more in detail this evening or tomorrow.

Stay tuned,
Cheers.
