Well, that's a minimalistic approach. We can do better ;-)

People don't want ark to start for .txt.gz files, but they rather
want that konqueror shows the text of that file embedded (it used
to do that when KIO filters worked, very handy)

I fixed ksycoca - it now returns the right type.

Looks like x-tgz is missing then ?

Cool, but requires a lot more clicks to see the contents a .txt.gz file
(konqueror->ark->click on file).
