I agree with you.  That is what should happen.  But for some reason it's
not.  I right-click, select Open With.., Other choose my app from the
Debian menu (in this case Debian | Apps | Viewers | MPlayer).  I select
Remember Application Association and it says Updating Configuration.. and
then opens the file in MPlayer.  The next time I left click on that file,
kaboodle opens again.

I don't know if I have a setting wrong or its a permissions issue somewhere,
but the association is not staying.

I'm running Sarge with packages last updated 9/1.
