Evidently, this problem seems to occur frequently. First, I have no idea if KDE4 file associations work for a KDE3 app. systemsettings is for KDE4, right? I don't have any idea if that affects the current SVN version of Tellico. Second, Tellico doesn't have anything to do with which application opens. It just tells the desktop to open the file and it's up to the desktop to do that. It seems that Gnome doesn't obey KDE and vice-verse, not much I can do about that. So for Tellico 1.3.x, you have to to use kcontrol... I have no idea why a distribution would choose to associate GIMP with pdf files. File a bug with them...

I fail to fix the problem using kcontrol or something similar in ubuntu 9.04. Finally, I solve the problem following the hint given in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1154774 Ariel 2009/7/1 Robby Stephenson <robby@...> On Wednesday 01 July 2009, Ariel Tarifeño wrote: > Hi all, > > I have problems when opening linked pdf files in tellico.
