Slavek, thanks  for reviewing and debugging all the errors.

I agree with and approve 4 patches out of 5: all except
bp0018-fix-tdeio-kmimetype-test.diff.

IMO the script is potentially error-prone, e.g. it may slightly break
some-ones installation if .trinity/share/mimelnk is already a symlink.
And in general it's quite kludgy workround... All in all I would
prefer just to disable the test instead of fixing it that way...

Should I push the patches to the repository? or are you going to merge
the patches soon?
