How do I configure file types and programs in Gnome 2.8?

[Radoslaw Zielinski]

I can't find the application to configure file types and programs,
described in /usr/share/gnome/help/user-guide/C/goscustlookandfeel.xml
starting from line 148:

10.5 Configuring File Types and Programs
Use the File Types and Programs preference tool to configure the following:
[ blah, blah, blah ]

According to section 9.2 of the documentation, it should be in
Applications -> Desktop Preferences -> Advanced -> File types and
programs; however, it's missing on my system. Where do I find this
tool?

$ rpm -qa|grep ^gnome|sort

I think, that this documentation is a little bit outdated. Now, in GNOME
2.8 there is different MIME subsystem. See
http://www.gnome.org/~jrb/files/mime/ for more details.

Thanks, I couldn't find it. For the record: ~/.mailcap worked just fine
for my needs.
