from an earlier thread on this subject, it is a SuSE 8.1 problem easily
fixed as per the instructions from Itzchak Rehberg as follows:

------------------

It's FOR SURE a problem of SuSE 8.1: when creating the package for the
control-center, they forgot to include the binary for this *grmpf!* So
the solution was quite easy:

* d/l control-center*.rpm for SuSE 8.0
* copy the file into the /opt/gnome/bin
* et voila! Edit the associations...


-----------------

after this you can, from Konsole, go to gnmomecc and make the file
associations whatever you want.
