It's worse than this.

exo-preferred-applications has almost no options whatsoever.  I now
find that PDFs are opened by Inkscape!  I have tried setting
.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list, but that doesn't help.  I've
tried creating /usr/share/applications/defaults.list, to no avail.

So how can I change the preference order - ideally in a way which I
can explain to a non-techie?

Thanks,
