Konqueror doesn't remember file associations !?

I am running KDE-3.5.7 on BLFS system.

I've installed cross over office 6.0.2 and MS Office XP to deal with the Word and Excel docs. Crossover office has been installed properly. I also have OpenOffice.Org installed.

Now, when I open any .doc or .xls file from within konqueror, it opens them with OpenOffice.Org. I have tried to change this associations by following three possible ways:
1. Right clicking on .doc file, selecting Open With..., selecting Ms Word and selecting "remember application association.....".

2 Right clicking, selecting Properties, selecting file type association button and adding MS Word to the list and moving it to the top and applying the settings.

3. Settings --> Configure Konqueror --> File Associations. Adding MS Word as the first handler for .doc types and applying the settings, updating configuration.

No matter what I do, konqueror doesn't save the information on newly added handler. It always lists OpenOffice.Org as the only handler.

I've given up on this one.

Can someone please tell me how do I set this right ?

Thanks.
