Yes, I think so. Only application/x-vnd.kde.kexi is defined in kdelibs.

And I will not ask why the newest Kexi mimetypes are not in the form 
x-vnd.kde. Sigh!

So here again: please, if you are defining new mime types for KDE, they have 
to start with x-vnd.kde, so that they could be officially registered one day 
or another (then without the x-)
