I don't know why Kommander executor was associated with text/plain. It 
shouldn't.

Associated application should be inherited across "is also" because that is 
the whole purpose... you want to be able to say that KEdit supports "text/
plain" without the need to include every possible variation of that:

MimeType=text/plain;text/x-makefile;text/x-c++hdr;text/x-c++src;text/x-chdr;
text/x-csrc;text/x-java;text/x-moc;text/x-pascal;text/x-tcl;text/x-tex;
application/x-shellscript;text/x-c;text/x-c++;text/x-diff;text/x-adasrc;text/
x-shellscript;text/x-c++src;text/x-chdr;text/x-csrc;text/x-c++src;text/x-c+
+hdr;text/x-chdr;text/x-c++src;text/x-csharp-src;text/x-csharp-hde;text/css;
application/x-desktop;text/x-diff;text/x-eiffel-src;text/x-ferite-src;text/x-
fortran-src;text/html;text/x-ilerpg-src;text/x-java;text/x-javascript;text/x-
kbasic-src;text/x-tex;text/x-makefile;text/mfile;text/x-objc-src;text/x-c-
hdr;text/x-pascal;application/x-perl;application/x-perl-module;application/x-
php;text/vnd.wap.wml;application/x-python;application/x-ruby;text/x-sather-
src;text/x-scheme;text/sgml;text/x-sql;text/x-verilog-src;text/x-vhdl;text/
xml;text/book;model/vrml

That leaves "kcmshell filetypes" which does behave rather erratic now indeed. 
It doesn't understand that text/x-pascal can be associated with KEdit because 
text/plain is associated with KEdit. When it is told to remove the 
associations it tries to remove "text/x-pascal" but that doesn't help since 
it wasn't directly associated with that in the first place. I'm not sure how 
to handle that since there isn't a way to say "supports text/plain but not 
text/x-pascal". The best I can think of is to disable the "Remove" button in 
such case.

Cheers,
Waldo
