nautilus mime problem, Evince

[Kevin Verma]

It seems solved so far, the procedure I applied :

1. I doubted the ISO from which I installed as it was a broken
SHA1SUM, but same ISO gave fair install at other places still.

2. I ran a double bad block check on /usr with e2fsck

3. checked on various *.cache files in /usr as I did earlier some were
only root readable despite of my trials to change the permissions, so
finally I took a back of those and removed those

4. I removed some suspected packages and instaleld again ,
"rpm -e gnome-mime-data gnome-vfs2 gnome-themes shared-mime-info
gnome-icon-theme --nodeps"
"yum -y install gnome-mime-data gnome-vfs2 gnome-themes
shared-mime-info gnome-icon-theme"

This solved my interim problem so far, yet I can not be sure enough if
it was some bug, perhaps two things could be still at major fault
broken sum on iso or bad disk, so far I did not find any bad blocks
into "dumpe2fs" output.

Cheers,
