In that case, this is expected breakage. GNOME 2.8 will use a new MIME
system (see http://www.gnomedesktop.org/article.php?sid=1885), and this is
reflected in the GNOME 2.7 development branch (see e.g.
http://www.gnomedesktop.org/article.php?sid=1893).
The configuration applet that's giving you these errors,
/usr/bin/gnome-file-types-properties, is part of the `capplets' package,
built from the `control-center' source package. There is no GNOME 2.7
version of that package packaged yet for experimental. The GNOME 2.6 version
is for use with the older MIME system; it doesn't work for the new one.
HTH,
