Under the main (little mousy) menu, there is a "Settings" entry.
In there there is a "Default Applications" entry -- that's where you can change the default terminal emulator, the default browser, and the file-manager.
The dialog will present choices it deems suitable for each -- so be sure to have the desired application installed and present in the $PATH before looking for it there.
