Actually the code was written by Waldo, but I didn't find it hard to 
understand. The file is text if:
- - it belongs to text/*
- - if the mimetype definition has the X-KDE-Text boolean property, and it's 
true, and the file is node an inode/*

The heuristics are in the KMimeType::findByFileContent(), which guesses the 
mimetype for the file.

In addition another flag is set to not if the file is a compressed text file 
or not.

application/pdf seems to be not considered text file (accroding to the 
pdf.desktop). The problem may be that sometimes findByFileContent() says it's 
application/pdf, other times it says it is text/something. Can this be a bug 
in KMimeType?
