Gnome MIME types

[Jeld]

I seem to have a strange problem. In Gnome 2 when I try to go to "File Types and Programs" dialog it doesn't let me change the program that handles a given file type. The whole part of the dialog is just grayed out even if I login as root.

I think that is because gnome thinks you don't have any program to handle that.
I once solved the problem by deleting the file type and create it again.

I found that editing MIME handlers is not developed in Gnome 2.0.2, I have unmasked and installed 2.1.2 and it works.
