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,
but finally stumbled around and found it and eventually

Apparently doing that set 'xpdf' as the default.
Did the same thing to set .jpg files to open with 'kview'
as the default. So I'm all set up now.
