Thanks for your reply.

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

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...
