As for the app behavior problem, I think it is a permissions problem
on some configuration file somewhere, only I don't know what or where.
If I run as root, everything works fine. It's only as a normal user
that I get problems, so I'm wondering, where the settings are kept for
gnome apps, particularly nautilus, since that seems to be the #1 place
where I run into trouble.

i seem to be hit with amnesia. Would you please elaborate on "app
behaviour problem" ?


( I had my root umask set to 027 for a while for security reasons, but
there are better reasons not to, and this may have screwed up a fair
number of my updates. I have fixed this so that it is only set to 027
when I am running interactively and 022 when running rpm or yum, or
non-interactively. )

I assume the pdf issue is reproducible only for a regular user, and not
root user ? If otherwise, this may be a bug with gnome-vfs.

Try running update below as root to update mime db. mime is used to
handle file associations.

update-mime-database -V /usr/share/mime/


Thanks.
