Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: konqueror
cr...@craig-laptop:~$ apt-cache policy konqueror
konqueror:
Installed: 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu4
Candidate: 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu4
Version table:
*** 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu4 0
500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages

The exact scenario:
I have installed FreeMind ( http://freemind.sourceforge.net ) - it uses
the *.mm filename extension for its documents. In Hardy I was able to
manually put an entry into Konqueror's file associations list (using the
semi-fictitious MIME type application/x-freemind) in order to open
FreeMind documents.
Using Jaunty I noticed that the *.mm filename pattern is taken by the
filetype text/x-troff-mm and after adding my FreeMind MIME type my
Freemind docs were still being opened with kate (as per the text/x
-troff-mm file association). Since I don't deal with text/x-troff-mm
documents, I decided that it would be acceptable to me to remove the
*.mm association from the troff MIME type (thus all *.mm files will be
treated as FreeMind documents).
I tried to do this however and it does not work. To reproduce it:
1) Konqueror » Setting » Configure Konqueror » File Associations Item
2) Search for "mm"
3) Select the MIME type text/x-troff-mm
4) Select the filename pattern *.mm and choose "Remove" then click OK to exit
the configuration dialog
The "Updating System Settings" progress indicator appears and closes
without error, but on clicking an *.mm file, it is still opened with
kate (the text/x-troff-mm action). Returning to the File Associations
dialog and looking at the text/x-troff-mm MIME type, I see that the *.mm
filename pattern has returned.
I tried to completely remove the text/x-troff-mm MIME type from
konqueror next, but even after doing that, it still exists in the list,
although the "remove button" is disabled. Also, clicking an *.mm
document still uses the settings for text/x-troff-mm (and opens the file
in kate)
I cannot find any way to remove/disable/prevent *.mm files opening using
kate in Jaunty, and so at the moment I am having to File » Open mind map
files from within FreeMind, wheras in Hardy I can just click them in
Konqueror and have FreeMind launch and open the file in a single action.
