Bug#264189: Konqueror won't save file association settings

[Graham Knap <graham.knap@rogers.com>]

Package: konqueror
Version: 4:3.2.3-1

When I open an mp3 file in Konqueror, I'm shown the "Open with:" dialog. 
I select XMMS, check "Remember application association for this type of 
file", and click OK. XMMS opens. All okay so far...

Later I click on another mp3 file, expecting Konqueror to remember that 
it should open it with xmms... but it doesn't, and I have to go through 
the "Open with" process again.

This happens continuously.

As an alternative, I tried clicking Settings -> Configure Konqueror,
going into the File Associations section, and setting XMMS up there.

The result this time is that as soon as I close the Configure dialog, 
Konqueror has again forgotten the settings.

This message shows up in .xsession-errors each time I instruct Konqueror 
to save its settings:


kbuildsycoca running...
Reusing existing ksycoca


Any idea what might be happening here?

Thanks
