Hi,
sorry for the delay, I've been traveling.

Generally, you can only view files for which you have a component
that is capable of displaying them. So, gnumeric, xls, abw, rtf, doc,
gchempaint and gcrystal can not be displayed by mozilla-bonobo because
the respective applications (that provide the bonobo components) are not
installed.

Mozilla-bonobo uses the configuration that is defined in the
Gnome preferences. Please check the viewer component
that is selected in the File Types & Programs Preferences
for PDF documents.

Mozilla-bonobo can only use bonobo components to display
files, not arbitrary programs. OpenOffice.org does not
currently have a bonobo component, although Ximian are
working on it.

This should work automagically once OpenOffice.org gets
its bonobo component. You can't really add an entry manually -
in fact, the entries are added by the components that
support them.

No

Once the OpenOffice.org bonobo component works, you can use
that one instead of those supplied by abiword and gnumeric.

The easiest way to see such a list is to enter "about:plugins"
in the location entry in Mozilla.
