If you find something that fixes it, I'd be interesting in hearing. The package built by the latest googleearth-package includes MIME definition and "desktop" files that usually have to do with file association in whatever desktop environment you are using. (Remember also that after installing, you might need to log out and log back in before some of these take effect.) One thing you said that sounds fishy is "application/kml" -- there is no such thing. The only valid MIME types that Google Earth uses are "application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml" and "application/vnd.google-earth.kmz". Two more deprecated types are still supported, but they are totally RFC-invalid: "application/keyhole" and "application/earthviewer". -- Wesley J.
