I waited for some helpful replies.. but none came :-(

I have the same problem.  gnomecc will let me make the changes, they appear
on the mimetypes list, but it just ignores them.  
Next time I enter gnomecc, my changes are not even on the list.

Another  problem which may be related - default editor does not load the
file when I right click on a file in gmc.
It gets the correct directory, but no file loaded.
Same effect with all editors I tried - emacs, gedit etc - vi works
perfectly.

Seen this on 2 completley different systems - RH 7.1 on my desktop & built
from latest stable source on my laptop
