           Summary: xdg-mime does not support KDE4
           Product: Portland
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: xdg-utils
        AssignedTo: portland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: pino at kde.org


xdg-mime strictly refers to KDE3:
- uses `kbuildsycoca`; it is `kbuildsycoca4` in KDE4
- uses `kfile` to get the MIME type of a file; should be `kmimetypefinder` in
KDE4
- writes the local application associations for MIME types to
$KDEHOME/share/config/profilerc (with '.kde' hardcoded, even!, instead of using
`kde(4)-config --localprefix`); this should be in the common
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list (as discussed some time ago by D.
Faure and A. Larsson on the xdg list, IIRC)
- uses `ktradertest` to check the default application associated with a MIME
type; should be `ktraderclient --mimetype application/pdf --servicetype
Application`
