katepart displays source code without konqueror knowing it

In kdelibs/kate/data/katepart.desktop
under MimeType=
application/postscript is one of the types listed. I thought that 
the part published its supported mimetypes there. Are they published
somewhere else?

Ok, I see what you mean. Yes, it would be inconvenient for the
user to repeatedly choose the same viewer.

What I meant was the situation, where there are two different
default viewers for, let say, postscript and pdf. The pdf viewer
might be capable of showing postscript also. Let say the user has
one bookmark of a postscript file and one bookmark of a pdf file.
Whether or not the user just opened the pdf bookmark before he 
opens the postscript bookmark might make a difference in the
presentation of the postscript file.
