I just had this problem. Coming from 12.04 to 14.04 my executable that was launching WebStorm just started opening in GEdit.
It felt like a bug, not a "Feature".
This is why I went back to Windows. Someone decided to make an arbitrary decision and now I have to find why it happened. These developers really don't care about the end-user.
Thank god I didn't try to launch the ATI graphics installer in Nautilus.
Sorry for the unhelpful comment, but someone made an unhelpful change that wasn't needed, without thought of the consequences, like happens so many times around here.
