Title:
  "Open with Other Application" remember feature does not work

Status in Nautilus:
  Fix Released
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in nautilus source package in Lucid:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  In Nautilus "Open with Other Application"  has a "Remember this
  application for $FILETYPE files" feature which is enabled by default
  and also does not work.

  Expecting:
  1) Not on by default, as this may be used for one-off, opening a file in another program.
  2) If it's checked, it should remember the program selected

  WORKAROUND:
  - right click the file in question
  - select PROPERTIES all the way down in the popup menu
  - go to "open with" tab
  - select an application that should be used by default
  - profit every time you double click
