yep, I know. The problem is that the plugger Netscape plugin registers=20
image/x-png which conflicts with image/png. The InitialPreference value i=
n=20
the mime type .desktop files is ignored for services with different mime=20
type, but the same file extension. This is a fundamental problem of the m=
ime=20
type system in kde with those cases. Konqi will find the x-png mime type=20
first and will only present mime type handler for x-png. So kview and pix=
er=20
have lost.

What I will do maybe in nspluginscan is that I will check which extension=
s of=20
a potential new mime type are registered already. These will be removed f=
rom=20
the nsplugin mime type list. In the above case a x-png mime type will be=20
created in ~/.kde/share/mimelnk, but it won't be assigned to the png=20
extension. What do u think?
