Hi Bob,

A little Google research seems to indicate that your file associations 
(mime-types) have been damaged in some way. You can try correcting this by 
copying over the contents of ~/.kde/share/mimelnk/application/ from a backup 
or another (unbroken) user's directory. Just be sure to set/verify correct 
ownership and permissions afterwards.

hth & regards,

Carl
