The default view is the first one in the actions tab for which the user
has permissions.  'document_view' is in that spot for the 'Document'
type information object, so content whose 'portal_type' is 'Document'
defaults to it.

Hmm, it sounds as though your objects aren't finding the right type
information object;  how are you creating them?  To find out what the
content object thinks its type is, change the URL to call the Type
method, e.g.::

   http://your.site.com/CMF/path/to/content/Type
