To put it more clear:
tar -jcvf foo.tar.bz2 foo --> can be opened with file-roller
tar -zcvf foo.tar.bz foo --> CANNOT be opened with file-roller, it fails saying that the archive isn't a valid bzip2 archive, which is true, I mean, it is a bzip archive, not bzip2. The problem is that file-roller is doing a WRONG assumption.
No file-roller is assuming that the ".bz" suffix means that you used bzip2, whereas you have used gzip.

/me feels REALLY stupid!
Now, I'm going to do some "find ..." and "mv ..." on my own tarballs (I still can't believe it!)
