I was trying, unsuccessfully, to change the default program for .mov files to be Mplayer instead of Movie Player: I kept getting the message 'cannot add application to application database' when I tried to change the default 'Open with' program (via right-clicking on the relevant file and selecting Properties -> Open With). Anyway, for some reason my ~/.local directory was set to root ownership. Resetting it to my user level ownership allowed me to make the change.
Ahhh, Linux: every day's a journey into the unknown :-)
