Re: mime types.

Thanks,
The directive "InitialPreference=" did the trick.
For some reason noatun was used to run video clips which it is not capable of doing.
I had to set a high numeric value of "InitialPreference" to both noatun and kaboodle and a low value to kaffeine. Now it works fine.

Hi,

I want to change the mime type definitions on the system level on a KDE 3.3.0
on a Gentoo machine. Which of the system level files holds the definition of
the application to be executed for a given mime type


The 'desktop' file for an application has a list of MIME types that it is
associated with.

For the new (XDG) menu system these would be in "$KDEDIR/share/applications" or a subdirectory of that directory -- the KDE applications are in the subdirectory: "kde". For the old menu system, these are in a subdirectory of: "$KDEDIR/share/applnk".

and how do you change the order of the applications?

You can specify: "InitialPreference=" in an application 'desktop' file. However, this is overridden by the user's: "$HOME/.kde/share/config/profilerc" file. AFAIK, there is no global 'profilerc' file.
