Hi,

a short issue concerning kfm and mimetypes:

Right now there is no support in kdelibs for finding what applications
are associated with a certain mimetype; the original design was built
around kservice, but that is disabled (the code for initializing
kservices by scanning the kdelnk files, in KService::initStatic() is
commented out for some reason, even if it would work fine otherwise).
Therefore kfm seems to be the only choice for running the application
associated with a mimetype. Is this behaviour definitive? And if so, can
kfm handle gracefully situations when a file can be opened by more than
one application - when it is invoked from other application, or will it
just take the first available one?

Regards,
 teddy
