Need some help here. :) Does KDE3/Trinity use the globs file from the mime-database structure? How do we add mimetypes globally on a system so users do not have to manually add new mimetypes? Is the KDE/Trinity /usr/share/mimelnk directories redundant with the information provided by the mime-database directories? What is the correct way to create new desktop files in /usr/share/mimelnk, especially when a person is not fluent in dozens of languages? Shouldn't these upstream software providers be providing mimelnk desktop files that get installed automatically?
