changing mime types on Linux thin clients (NO gnome desktop)

[Philip Rhoades <pri chu com au>]

Hi people,

I have users running balsa on RH 7.3 and 8.0 servers and displaying on 
Linux Thin Clients (X servers) - with no Gnome desktops.

What .gnome[2] config files do I edit to add support (for example) for 
pdf? - so the user gets prompted with a viewer (xpdf) instead of just 
"Save" when right-clicking on an attachment?

If I try and run file-types-capplet on 7.3 on the remote server (when a 
Gnome desktop is running on the console) I get:

** WARNING **: Could not get name service!

** ERROR **: file goad.c: line 660 (real_goad_server_activate): 
assertion failed: (name_service != CORBA_OBJECT_NIL)
aborting...
Aborted

So it would be easier if I just knew what config files to edit and what 
to change to add appropriate mime type support.

Thanks,

Phil.
