I have a default install of mandrake 7.2. I don't think I've messed
anything up. When I try to open kword, or wchart, or aynthing, I get:

[lueyb at localhost lueyb]$ word                                              
koffice (lib kofficecore): ERROR: Couldn't find the native MimeType in
kword's desktop file. Check your installation !

Any ideas?
