As a stop-gap measure, I've created a new action to perform:
file-roller %f --extract-to=%d
and that works.
# ln -s /usr/share/applications/{org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop,file-roller.desktop}
$ xdg-mime default file-roller.desktop 'application/zip'
Simply renaming the file would do the trick, but I went the safest route
I've also tried:
$ xdg-mime default file-roller.desktop 'application/x-gzip'
where application/x-gzip is apparently the MIME type for .gz files, at least according to:
http://www.hansenb.pdx.edu/DMKB/dict/tutorials/mime_typ.php
I've tried:
# cp file-roller.desktop FileRoller.desktop
and when that did not work:
# mv FileRoller.desktop org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop
My /usr/share/applications/mineinfo.cache file contains the following:
...
application/x-gzip=org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop;
...
that's why I mv from FileRoller.desktop to org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop
org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop contains the appropriate MIME type too:
... application/x-gtar;application/x-gzip;application/x-gzpostscript; ...
