CentOS - Apr 2007 - Lost file associations, only application/octet-stream

Hi,

After updating from CentOS 4.92 to 5 through manual hacks and 'yum
update' (see
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2007-April/079023.html),
I've lost all gnome file associations. Now every file is identified as
application/octet-stream or text/plain or x-directory/normal (for
directories).

I've checked everything with 'rpm -Va' but couldn't find problem
related to mime types.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Leonardo

This problem is related to my username, because when I create a new
username, Nautilus shows correct file associations.

So I've just made a backup of my home directory and created a new one,
then erased all files owned by my username inside /tmp and restarted
the computer. Even now the file associations are wrong for my
username.

What can be still wrong in my system?
