Hi Kevin, 

Thanks for your reply. I eventually figured out my problem. I changed dir_mime in \
/etc/kderc to /usr/local/share and now things behave the way I want. 

Thanks

I think the &gt;responsible environment variable is XDG_DATA_DIRS. If unset or 
empty it defaults to /usr/local/share:/usr/share

Cheers,
Kevin
