BY Waldo on my request IIRC. ;-)

So this means X-KDE-Text is not deprecated and has different functiona 
than X-KDE-IsAlso? I though that the latter deprecates the former, thus 
my idea to change the mimetypes. If not, I will change the code in 
KDevelop to not rely on isAlso when checking if a file is text or not.
