Roman, I had the same problem and I fixed it by deleting all the offending entries in the /home/[user name]/.kde/share/applink and /home/[user name]/.kde/share/mimelnk/(and all folders within). It took a couple of restarts to get rid of all the buggers but it works fine now. I hope that helps. Trevor Jim wrote: > > I had the same problem, but I was logged in as a user.
