Hi, Nigel.  Yes, I have systems with Mandriva, Fedora and CentOS.  The only 
problem is trying to find enough time to keep up with all the lists :-)

Obviously I don't know your system, but in kcontrol's file associations you 
should be able to put 'txt' into the search box.  That should bring you a 
good match.  On this system it brings text > plain.  IIRC on other systems I 
have seen something like x-text.  Anyway, the search box always found the 
right one for me.  HTH
