Title:
  cannot change "open with" option to non-standard program

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In Oneiric, you cannot change the program used to open a file to a non-standard program.
  I use the daily build of Libreoffice, which is loaded in the /opt/ folder.
  There is no way I can get to the program from the oeneric interface other than by calling the program up in a terminal.
  This is incredibly inconvenient.

  TEST CASE:
  1. Launch Nautilus (Launcher -> Files)
  2. Right-click on a file
  3. On the contextual menu select "Open With / Other Application ..." or "Open with other application..."
  4. On the untitled dialog click on "Show other applications"

  Result:
  There is a list of "Recommended Applications" and "Other Applications" but no way to select/add an application other than those being on the list.

  Expected:
  Ability to add an application to the list from the UI
