Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2009-07-05 10:04:23 UTC 
When gimp is built with USE='-pdf', gimp.desktop is installed with 'application/pdf' in MimeType.

This causes programs to try to open PDFs with GIMP, which is unintentional and just won't work. Moreover, GIMP seems to take precedence over dedicated apps such as epdfview.
Comment 1 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2009-07-13 12:25:18 UTC 
After further investigation I discovered that without poppler GIMP still supports importing (some) PDF files. So, I assume the pdf support is unconditional and thus the bug is invalid.
