application/x-rpm is set to save files to disk. I deleted the entry for
audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin, but it didn't have any effect. I've just
noticed the following: Clicking for example any .rpm in the following link
will correctly open the save as dialog box-
http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/1/i386/RPMS.stable/ However,
clicking this link will give me a Helix logo screen as it tries to run it
as an RealPlayer plugin Metafile.  
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/1/gstreamer-plugins/gstreamer-plugins-extras-0.6.3-3.1.fr.i386.rpm
Can anyone reproduce this? I'm not sure how to work around this other than
deleting the Helix plugin. Why are some .rpm's being interpreted as
"application/x-rpm" and yet some as "audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin"? 

Thanks
