Gnome places menu opens with file-roller

In the gnome places menu - all works fine except when trying to open recently used items - which open up with file roller instead of the proper app. The same thing happens when trying to download OOo docs - I can't open them directly but have to save them first. I've search through gconf-editor settings, have all my 'properties/open with' etc. all correct in nautilus and for individual items, but no luck.

Any thoughts?

Re: Gnome places menu opens with file-roller

Thanks - I read this already though, but it doesn't work. Actually the only things in recently used docs that don't open, and the only things I can't open automatically when downloading (ie I have to save them first and open them separately) are OOo docs. But I have OOo docs set to open with OOo - so its a conundrum!

Re: Gnome places menu opens with file-roller

Looks promising - but the associations with file roller don't appear linked to OOo. One other interesting thing - I deleted file-roller from the OOo properties open-with tab and now trying to launch an OOo doc from recent items gives me a 'you have no application able to open this' blurb.
