I installed KDE from deb packages, except for KDELIBS, since I had to compile this package with --enable-new-stuff (or similar option). I have installed a few packages, including kexplorer from source, however. Not all of kexplorer's functionality is present, suggesting a problem with mime types.
My KDEDIR is /usr/bin/X11 but some apps end up in /usr/bin/X11/bin and possibly some other places. My mime types are not in $KDEDIR/share/mimelnk as I believe they should be. What have I done wrong and how can I fix this? At the moment, only kexplorer appears to be affected by this. thanks -- Andrew [PGP5.0 Key ID 0x5EE61C37]
