Hmm, interesting. I was trying to find out if there's a system-wide default application viewer list somewhere, but can't find one, so it'll probably have to be done in each desktop environment individually. For GTK/Gnome applications you could try editing /etc/gnome/defaults.list and see if that helps. If anyone does figure out how to change media viewers globally in Linux I'd be interested in the answer too.
