Using command 'qvm-open-in-dvm' in an AppVM opens all files in chromium.

I use a custom DispVM image based on the fedora-23-minimal template. On it I have installed chromium and libreoffice. Opening files ending in .odt and .docx using 'xdg-open' opens libreoffice. Opening files ending in .html and .pdf using 'xdg-open' opens chromium. All is well in this aspect.

When the same files are opened from an AppVM using 'qvm-open-in-dvm' ALL files, regardless of extension, are opened in chromium.

Searching Google for a way to change what software is used to open the files when 'qvm-open-in-dvm' is used, yielded no results.
