I really don't want to touch this code.

I don't use "print preview" myself, and I'm not even sure I can.
IIRC, this facility uses a mime-type to figure out how to display
a preview. My chroots have no pdf viewer; my "host" system does,
but not the chroots. Thus, when I try "File | Print preview", I see:

00fc:err:winebrowser:launch_app could not find a suitable app to open 
L"file:///opt/lmi/print/unnamed1.pdf"

I don't really want "winebrowser" to launch any applications.
My chroots seem to have no "associations" for GTK either:

Alarum: Unable to determine command to 'open' file 
'/opt/lmi/print/unnamed1.pdf'.
[file_command_wx.cpp : 95]

And I'm not sure whether end users ever use this facility. IIRC, a few
years ago they even had difficulties with "File | Print", due to the
way their employer set "associations" in the msw registry; I remember
identifying an incorrect corporate setting and asking it to be fixed,
with the predictable corporate lack of response. I just tell people to
use "File | Print to PDF", because that's under our control and always
works; then, once they have a PDF file, if they can't view it or print
it, that's not an lmi problem--it's an msw problem, and one that the
corporation actually will fix.
