From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.2.12-32 i686) I have 3 different RedHat 7.0 installations, all of which exhibit this bug, and none of my older 6.2 installations did. In my previous RH6.2 installations I modified mime-types often to change icons and actions associated with open/view/etc, which worked very well. Under RH7.0 the mime types get changed (either via the Edit Mime Types in the gmc Commands menu, or via the gnome control center, which is probably the same thing as I imagine gmc just calls the Control Center), and one can see that the requested changes have been emplaced in .gnome/mime-info/users.keys but then gmc appears NOT to be looking at this file. See example below. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open gmc 2. In Commands menu select Edit mime types. 3. Find application/x-dvi, for example (it doesn't matter, no mime types work) 4. Change icon by clicking browse, going up one level, and taking gnome-tigert.png 5. Hit `Try' or `OK' 6. cat .gnome/mime-info/users.keys to see application/x-dvi: [en_US]icon-filename=/usr/share/pixmaps/./gnome-tigert.png as it should be, but if you look at a .dvi file in gmc or just re-open the mime type you will see that the icon information has not been stored Actual Results: The above was the easiest example, but lots of other associations do not get registered. SOME do. For example, I can associate the Open action of application/x-tex with rxvt -e latex %f successfully, but cannot change the icon for example. In fact, changing the icon results in the default TeX icon changing permanently to come bland generic icon and there is no way to change it again. Nor can I change edit to gvim %f for example. Or even rxvt -e vi %f Expected Results: Mime types should be read back once changed. I noted that the most recent version of gmc is supposed to now be gnome-compliant and perhaps the new problems are associated with that adaptation. However, I tried loading unistalling the most recent gmc and installing via RPM the version of gmc on my RH6.2 laptop (gmc-4.5.39-0.91) but had the same problem, so it may be deeper. I tried upgrading my gmc on the RH7.0 system (which was 4.5.51-18) to the slightly newer 4.5.52-2 from rpmfind, but that also does not help.
