Ok, this is still a problem. I tried editing the files myself, and they
still didn't work. Tried updating the 'menu' package (I assumed this
was the correct package to update) and rebooted, still no change. This
is a strange problem indeed; when I click on an .xpm file, the image
viewer program opens and displays the icon. When I right-click on the
same file, the menu gives me the option of opening that file with the
image viewer or the icon editor -> that's the way it should be. When I
open a text file, same thing, I get the correct program opening up by
default to show the contents of the file. Now, when I open an .rpm file
(as user or root), the 'open with' browser pops up asking me what I want
to use to open that file -> even though kde already assigned the the
correct 'rpm' icon to it -> I'm assuming that kde does know what kind of
file it is. Same thing with .mp3 files, they are assigned the 'kmp3'
icon, but I still get the 'open with' browser asking what program I want
to use. When I right click on the .mp3 file, there are no options for a
program to open with, just the top of the menu which says 'open with'.
Same thing with .avi, they have the correct icon, they just don't know
that they should use 'aktion' to open up.
Does this make sense? To me, it seems like something in kde is broken;
some files work, some don't. Can you direct me to the correct package
for updating? I'm stumped.
Thanks for your patience, Mike
