Bug Description
Binary package hint: konqueror
craig@craig-
konqueror:
Installed: 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu4
Candidate: 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu4
Version table:

The exact scenario:
I have installed FreeMind ( http://
Using Jaunty I noticed that the *.mm filename pattern is taken by the filetype text/x-troff-mm and after adding my FreeMind MIME type my Freemind docs were still being opened with kate (as per the text/x-troff-mm file association). Since I don't deal with text/x-troff-mm documents, I decided that it would be acceptable to me to remove the *.mm association from the troff MIME type (thus all *.mm files will be treated as FreeMind documents).
I tried to do this however and it does not work. To reproduce it:
1) Konqueror » Setting » Configure Konqueror » File Associations Item
2) Search for "mm"
3) Select the MIME type text/x-troff-mm
4) Select the filename pattern *.mm and choose "Remove" then click OK to exit the configuration dialog
The "Updating System Settings" progress indicator appears and closes without error, but on clicking an *.mm file, it is still opened with kate (the text/x-troff-mm action). Returning to the File Associations dialog and looking at the text/x-troff-mm MIME type, I see that the *.mm filename pattern has returned.
I tried to completely remove the text/x-troff-mm MIME type from konqueror next, but even after doing that, it still exists in the list, although the "remove button" is disabled. Also, clicking an *.mm document still uses the settings for text/x-troff-mm (and opens the file in kate)
I cannot find any way to remove/
I am having similar probem.
Cant change any file association from system settings in jaunty.
When i change the priority of file association of a filetype (mp3 which is currently associated first with audacity and i want to change to mplayer) i can get to move the priority, when i press apply the update dialog shows up and gets to about 15% the disapears a the same time as i see the listo go back to the order it had before.
tried sudo systemsettings , thinking it might be a permission issue but had the exact same result.
