I think a lot of the text:plain related issues can be solved with the new 
isAlso property of mimetypes.

E.g. applications such as kword, kate and khtml shouldn't check for mimetype 
== text/plain but should check for mimetype.isAlso(text/plain) instead.
That way they will suddenly understand that they can open application/x-python 
just fine. (Assuming application/x-python has an is-also-text/plain property)

Cheers,
Waldo
