Yeah, KMenuEdit and the menus in general suck. I have entries that will
never go away from my menus, no matter how many times I delete them.
Remember that:
- all of the settings are somewhere in ~/.kde ;
- except that some menu customizations are in ~/.local ; and
- grep -r is your friend.
Knowing these things, you should always be able to find the files you
need to edit.

It's in the Settings in Konqueror-- its own category, "File
Associations."
