Thanks for the tip.  That's a step in the right direction.  From what I 
can tell the file usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/defaults/profile/mimeTypes.rdf is 
copied when new .mozilla directories are created.  I am looking for a 
way to have it look to the server for a mimeTypes setting rather than in 
each individual's homedir.  Still hunting.... :-)
