for example take a jpeg image.
thunar has 2 programs for opening jpeg here: gqview and gimp. default
is gimp. when i open the file properties (r-click -> properties) and
change the selected item in the combobox "open with" from gimp to
gqview, and viewtype was set to icons, the default action is now
gqview (context menu shows gqview first too, as expected).

now change viewtype to detailed and try the same thing again (change
default action in properties). the combobox shows the selected program
(for example you switched back from gqview to gimp), so it shows gimp.
even if you reopen the properties, gimp is selected. but in the
context menu the default action is still set to gqview and if you open
the file, gqview is used.

i know this shouldn't have anything to do with the viewtype, but it does here.
libexo is 20498 here.
