Not even:
  <mime-type type="application/x-kig">
    <comment>Kig figure</comment>
    <glob pattern="*.kig"/>
    <glob pattern="*.kigz"/>
  </mime-type>
? if it does not, then it's a kubuntu problem, as that mimetype is there since \
months, way before any KDE 4 release.

This is exactly the problem. You (or something else) is explicitely setting that \
variable, so its value is taken as is (per specs). So, unless there is a sort of \
wrapper script or whatever that manually sets (or unsets) it, this looks like a \
kubuntu issue.

As further test you can do the following, in a terminal:
$ XDG_DATA_DIRS=$(kde4-config --prefix)/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS
$ export XDG_DATA_DIRS
$ kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental
here, verify that at the end of its output there's something like:
kbuildsycoca4(23962) KMimeFileParser::parseGlobs: Now parsing \
"/usr/lib/kde4/share/mime/globs" $ kig [or kig-kde4, no idea how kubuntu called it]

If kig started from this procedure works, then it's indeed a distro issue.
