Right click on the html file and choose properties.. Onne of the options
is "Open With'. It will allow you to choose the default program to use
to open the file.

You're THE man! =) Setting file associations this way did the trick -- it even allowed me to fix the same problem with JNLP (Java Webstart) files, which I could not associate to javaws.

I'll file this upstream as a GNOME bug because the other method (through the "open with" popup menu option) should work the same way AFAICS.

Thks for the help =) (and for solving this mistery -- I knew there had to be a way to do this on GNOME 2.30 ;-))

Regards,

Andre
