Actual behavior under KDE 5: No output to stdout. If the specified file is executable, it is executed, e.g. "xdg-mime query filetype /usr/bin/xclipboard" executes the program xclipboard. Source of error: The xdg-mime script checks in the function "info_kde()" only for KDE version being 3 or 4. The new Kubuntu release bundles KDE 5 which is not checked against.
