Yes unless I am root; Root has/should have Edit: ... Mime Types Applications ------------ Global Mime Types Global Applications It works if you start kfm with -s; But I remember that kfm checked who is user and set a root-flag if user is root. But now if you login as root and do not have explicite kfm -s flag in your .xsession, kfm will treat you as normal user. The way it is now, root cannot acces his local mime/apps, since he has write permissions to global items. -- sven
