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

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