hmm.. I don't know... showing the appicons seems to me more intuitive/nice
than showing a list of names; I mean, the list only consists of the applications
which can handles the file, not *every* applications installed; thus in general
you won't have 42 appicons to show but more in the range of 1-4 ...
As the number of applications is quite low, listing directly the appicon doesn't
hurts imho. Of course if we had dozens of applications to show, a name list
would be better...
