Does Linux, or more specifically the Gnome desktop, have a widget like
the one in Windows that associates file extensions with applications so
that, for example, when I double-click on a ".txt" file it opens in my
favorite text editor?  Do file extensions have any significance in
Linux?  Thanks for the help! -- Jerry
