Will take a look at the code and check for use of tk_fileChooser - may be someone has more specific info I can use.
BTW, I am guessing that the particular bad behavior when clicking on a PDF file, is that there is a bug in the browser, whereby it takes the ".pd" of the ".pdf" suffix and "believes" it is a PD file, then tries to open it in PD. That looks at first as a "hang" but if I wait 2 minutes, I see a lot of binary-printed insults in the PD log area, like: ..... GEM: with help by Guenter Geiger, Daniel Heckenberg, Cyrille Henry, et al. GEM: using MMX optimization error: %PDF-1.3: no such object error: ?????l?à?Ù}gßf??Õ}???ûýòÇæÃõ]vê?dEÆÓB: no such object ..... etc ad-infinitum (well, not really infinitum: a few thousand lines like that).

Is there a way to define external viewers for files, e.g. a list of the kind: pdf /usr/bin/acroread text /usr/bin/gvim mov /usr/bin/xine txt internal [mM]akefile internal TODO internal .... Get the drift?. If there isn't such capability
theres something like this for gnome, where if you run 'gnome-remote /path/to/some.pdf' it will launch evince. osux has something similar, called 'open' i think. on windows, im not sure what you do, maybe 'exec explorer.exe filename'..
im pretty sure pd just uses the tk_fileChooser so youre going to have to figure out how to override its default somehow.. maybe check the tk docs? and check pd.tk. its surely no more than a few lines to do what you want, on all the platforms..
