Edit the file /usr/share/mime/globs

application/x-gnumeric:*.xls
application/x-gnumeric:*.gnumeric.

Now in the file manager, you can click on a file
and have it launch the spreadsheet.
Did that, filed copies correctly, but still no launching of Gnumeric when I click my "MPG" spreadsheet.

EDIT: Got it to launch gnumeric, but not open the file. Still requires file->open
