Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Basically, the new mime system took away support for changing the default text editor, and upstream gnome-default-applications-property didn't remove that tab until after 2.8.0: http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-control-center/capplets/default-applications/ChangeLog?rev=1.128&view=markup " 2004-11-26 Sebastien Bacher <seb128@debian.org> * gnome-default-applications-properties.glade: Mask the "Text Editor" tab since it's not used by the new mime system." Fixed in FC-4 and forwards because that tab isn't visible.
