Hi all,

Has anyone got any experience with the gnome mime types?  I've never 
been able to get the application editor to work and wonder if its just 
me or a long standing problem with gnome.

I have installed Acrobat for viewing pdf files, and it works fine if I 
open Acrobat and then open the file.

When I double click a pdf file (I use gmc) I get an error message:
   
"Unable to open ..... with the command:
" xpdf %f"
" To fix this bring up the mime properties editor in the gnome control 
center and edit the default open action for application/pdf"

Well I have done this (a hundred times) and set it up to point to 
Acrobat, but it still tries to use xpdf.
(even when I reset to defaults, ggv is replaced as the default 
application but it still tries to use xpdf)

Any ideas?

Regards,

Andy
