You should try to change the application associated with that
particular action. Try checking properties on right clicking over the
folder.
And I guess just like KDE, GNOME must be keeping the changes in some
folder like ~/.gnome or so. (I am a KDE user.. so not sure about the
location of the folder). Try renaming / removing that folder to get
new settings of Lucid.
