Someone responded advising me to look for a "wrong application" (thanks Anne 
Wilson!) I did so but could find nothing wrong.
I compared entries with what I have on another linux box running mandrake 10.1 
(same as the problem machine) and I did find a few missing associated 
filetypes for Kaffine (audio/x-ogg was missing) but otherwise everything 
looks identical. (Yes, I added the missing audio/x-ogg entires.
I still get the warning message about
> Could not find mime type
> application/octet-stream

Today, whenever I boot up into KDE, open kmail, open konqueror. I get the same 
warning mime type messsage.
I tried menu-bar/Find  and typed something in,  the system froze with the mime 
type message.  There may be more I have not found out about yet.

What caused the problem in the first place was me going into fileasscociations 
and adding an entry for "ogg" in the known filetypes window, then linking 
kaffine to this (in the application preferance window).

I have removed these entries (the same day I asked for assistance here) but 
the problem remains.
This is getting anoying. Can I fix this or will a total re-installation of KDE 
be necessary?

Thanks.
