Review request for Dolphin, Konsole and David Faure.


Description
-------

@David, I'd like to know your idea of this workaround, because I think its usefulness \
will influence or be influenced by how bug 275405 will be finally resolved. 


The current situation of clicking an executable shell script in dolphin/konqueror:

1. It is always executed, instead of being opened by the preferred application \
according to its mimetype. (bug 275405)

2. It is executed in a silent way, without invoking konsole to provide a running \
environment (bug 225563). That means at least two issues:

    a). There is no feedback and no easy way for user to know whether that script has \
been started. He/She need use ps or ksysguard to verify it.

    b). interactive script just doesn't work.


This patch *doesn't* really solve any of the above two problems. It just provides the \
possibility for users to run an executable script in konsole when using \
dolphin/konqueror.

It adds two .desktop files: 

    applications/kde4/run-in-konsole.desktop, which can be used in the "Open with" \
submenu  ServiceMenus/konsolerun.deksotp, which can be used in the "Actions" submenu

I'm not sure which solution is better, so I just provide both :)


Known issue: 

using application/x-shellscript means this workaround only applies to shell scripts, \
so it does not provide help for perl/python scripts.  But using \
applicaiton/x-executable means it will also apply to binary executables.  So :

    * Does it make sense to provide that workaround for binary executable? It is of \
course valid, but might be seen as overkill and strange in practice.

    * Is there something called application/x-executablescript, that falls between \
the range of x-executable and x-shellscripts ?

    * Should application/x-desktop be also added into "MimeType"? 


As you see, this patch in the current form is still a rough idea.


This addresses bugs 225563 and 275405.
