Hi folks,

I'm trying to get konqueror working with the helixcommunity.org helix
player mozilla/netscape/(konq?) plugin (https://player.helixcommunity.org).

I'm having problems with khtml. It seems to be looking for a service by
the name of "audio/x-pn-realaudio", whereas the generated
nsplugin.desktop file contains audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin (ie - has a
-plugin suffix).

Is anyone familar with the story behind this fix?
