I looked at this "mimeTypes.rdf" file, but didn't 
see where or how I might fix anything there.

Thanks Dennis.  I was not familiar with anything called the 
"KDE Control Center" and had a bit of a time finding it,

Apparently doing that set 'xpdf' as the default. 
Did the same thing to set .jpg files to open with 'kview'
