CentOS - May 2008 - "Could not find mime-type"

After a two-week holiday I've just updated my server.  I have a message from
kcontrol - "Could not find mime type application/octet-stream".  A
.png
thumbnail on the desktop isn't displaying, but apart from that I don't
have
much of a clue what has happened.  Nothing seems to appear in messages.  Any 
help, please?

Application/octet-stream is a generic MIME type, and does not
associate with any particular program.  Most of these I get are
attachments from broken Mail programs.  Save it to disk and open
with the graphics program of your choice, xv, gimp, etc.
