Hi,

I've made a simple applications that deal with its own type of file.
They are simple plain text, but with a particular meaning (obviously...).

So what I did (thanks to Phalynx) is to add a x-lif.desktop to my sources and 
install it under application/x-lif.

This is an extract of the file:

MimeType=application/x-lif
Icon=image
Patterns=*.lif

the problem is that I ./configure in this way

export KDEDIRS="$KDEDIR:/tmp/system"
./configure --prefix=/tmp/system
make
make install

everything is installed properly, but the mimetype database ('cos there is 
not, isn't it?) isn't updated (konqueror still thinks it is plain text).

I tryed 'dcop kded kbuildsycoca recreate' but still it is not present in 
'kcmshell filetypes'. Probably logging in/out would solve the problem, but I 
would like to do this in the same session.
