Bug#261753: kdelibs4: application associations never get saved
Package: kdelibs4
Version: 4:3.2.3-3
Severity: normal
KDE doesn't seem to save my appliaction associations for PDF. I'll
describe the scenario in more detail.
Out of the box, KDE doesn't seem to know what to do with a .pdf file.
When I click on one of them on my Desktop, I get a window to pick the
application to open it with. I select '/usr/bin/xpdf'.
I also check the box "Remember application association for this type of file".
Then I click Ok.
A window appears that says "Updating System Configuration" with a
percentage bar. It fills up to 100% and disappears. The PDF opens in xpdf.
However, nothing was saved apparently. If I close xpdf, and click on the
.pdf file again, I get exactly the same dialog that wants me to chose
what application to open it with again.
I'm not sure if this is the right KDE package for this bug report, but
it was my best guess.
