Try adding this to the chemical/x-pdb section of your molmol.keys file: 

default_application_id=molmol

This usage works under the current GNOME 2.0 builds.  Handling of category 
defaults and user levels isn't yet complete but it should make GNOME mime type 
handling much more flexible than anything I've seen to date.
