Change FileZilla settings in Ubuntu Linux so view/edit uses gedit

Question

This is similar to the Super User question How to change FileZilla so that View/Edit opens .html in Notepad++, not Firefox, but I am asking for FileZilla in Linux. I am using Ubuntu 10.0.4 (Lucid Lynx).

Currently my FileZilla opens files using OpenOffice. I want to change to gedit for all the .log files, etc.

EDIT:

For some reason, my FileZilla has no File Edit and other settings. This is the screenshot to prove I am not blind:

That's weird. Is that your whole screen, or just the FileZilla window? If that's your whole screen, can you drag FileZilla around by holding Alt?
when i use Alt+E i can find the inner menu items, but the main menu is still not there. i ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling. no use. this will have to do for now.
Sorry, I'm not good enough on Linux to be able to help out with the disappearing-menu stuff :)
html /usr/bin/gedit usun that in Filetype associations did not work for me in Ubuntu any hint?

Go to Edit -> Settings....

Scroll down to File editing -> Filetype associations.

In the Custom filetype associations box, add the line html /usr/bin/gedit (and remove any other line starting with html).

(Taken from here - it's Linux Mint but it should be similar enough in Ubuntu.)

thanks Rawling, problem is that my settings, are not showing up. picasaweb.google.com/kimcity/Screenshots#5489975181213459026
