Yeah. If you really want to use the KDE mimetype stuff, you should use
libkonq/KDirLister. 

But then libkfile depends on libkonq, see?

So imho: we don't need mimetype checking in a file dialog
do we?

The common usage is the selection by file extension, if at all and not by
the file type itself! And in addition it should be fast. I don't say
KDirLister is slow, but a raw QIconView is probably faster.
