Hi,

Wow! This thread had me digging through gconf, ~/.config/ and ~/.gnome* 
looking for this. Thanks, David!

I have to add that looking at the contents of my 
~/.local/share/applications/, it seems that the mimeapps.list contains 
my "custom" associations (those selected from a file's right-click menu) 
and defaults.list contains application-changed associations (all but one 
entry is for Google Earth) that I didn't change myself.

Very interesting, but annoying at the same time: all these configuration 
paradigms are simply unnecessary. But that's a rant for a different 
thread. :)

Greetings,

Walter
