[TxMt] TextMate takes over X11 app file associations

I installed DarwinPorts (now MacPorts) several weeks ago, and installed
TextMate today. When I click on a Unix app found in /opt/local/bin, such
as /opt/local/bin/kmail, instead of the app opening using Apple's X11,
which it was doing previously, it now opens in TextMate.

If I Get Info, I cannot change the file association back to X11 due to
permissions.

Is there a solution that I'm simply not seeing? So far, the only thing
that works is uninstalling TextMate, which I obviously don't want to do.

Thanks.

Scott
