I trusted the wiki page and haven't looked into the mimeo code: wiki states the conf file is "~/.mime.types"- and, of course, it didn't work for me. Now everything is ok. Also I have fixed the wiki page for Chromium. Another question - why Chromium depends on gconf? IMHO that dependency could be optional. Thanks again, Sergey
