Sorry again, Anne. My English must be horrible. I am not interested in what 
applications, on your computer, are associated with files with the ending 
.desktop. What I am interested to know is what kde4 package provides the 
missing filetypes.desktop file. On my system, YaST2 tells me there is none...

Thanks for your patience.
