Version: (using KDE 4.0.5) Installed from: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux Changing a file's associated programs has limited effect after save. In my specific case I am trying to remove the Ark application from the file associations for the .odt extension. To recreate the error: 1. Open System Settings 2. Click Advanced tab 3. Double click File Associations 4. In the search box, enter '.odt' (no quotes) 5. Select vnd.oasis.opendocument.text under the application entry that appears 6. In the Application Preference Order pane on the left, remove all entries for "Ark" ( I have two) 7. Click "Apply" After system configuration update, the Ark entries reappear.
Confirmed using current trunk.
Same for me. Kubuntu 8.10. I cannot add file associations (kid3/mp3) or change existing orders.

Turns out that it didn't work in some cases still. Fixed by Bug 178560, will be in KDE-4.2.
To adjust my last comment: the fix is in 4.1.4 too.
