CentOS - Jul 2007 - Lost file associations, too - urgent

I just returned from a week's vacation and brought my CentOS 5.0 system back
up, updated it, and somehow it has lost all the .doc file associations.
These used to be associated with the OpenOffice writer, but that's now
gone.  ACtually, all the "open with" associations are gone (rtf's
now think
they should be opened by the text editor!).

I'm not sure exactly what the association should be - can anyone point me in
the right direction?

Thanks.

I found the appropriate one for this, but now it looks as though all the
(nautilus?) file associations were eliminated - jpgs don't open in the
image viewer any more, etc.  I've been doing these manually as I run
across them, but they don't operate the way they used to (e.g., the
image viewer does not allow panning through the images in a directory
the way it did before).

What happened?
