How to setup "Open with" Squeak for images (jpeg etc)

Hi,

I'd like to setup my kid's PC (Linux w. KDE) for them to be able to open 
images with Squeak from the file manager. The idea is that by clicking on a 
"my-graphics.jpeg" file in the OS File Manager, squeak would start and open 
the image using the Paint, ideally in a new project. (I guess similarly what 
"Find + View" would do.)

I am not asking about how to define the file type association, rather whether 
it's possible to execute Squeak with a set of options to start Squeak, run 
Paint and edit the image, I am thinking something like:

# squeak  image  script-which-opens-paint  my-graphics.jpeg

Is something like this possible? I guess it would be usefull to have squeak  
acting as "viewer/editor" for any file types that squeak can handle ..

Thanks, Milan
