I have tried 'update-mime-database /usr/share/mime' and it returned the following errors: [14:50 alchemy:/home/david/dt/gnome/themes/new] # update-mime-database -V /usr/share/mime Updating MIME database in /usr/share/mime...

Well maybe not. Something has totally broken the gnome mime database. Here are screenshots of nautilus showing the problem: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/gnome/all-plain-text-document.jpg http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/gnome/all-plain-text-document1.jpg Needless to say, trying to launch or preview anything from a filemanager in gnome fails miserably. Right now, everything tries to open as a "Karbon 14" file.... Let me know if I can send anything else or run any more tests for you. I'm happy to do it. Thanks.
