  For background see: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414742
  
  I may be wrong, but personally I think QMimeDatabase is acting sensibly by not allowing to remove the "main" glob pattern of a mimetype.
  
  Also IIUC it seems other tools are sort of doing the same, e.g. gio (see the bug report for some testing I posted there).
  
  So, either this diff makes sense, or someone will have to put his upstream Qt hat on and change QMimeDatabase :p; I dug into the git history upstream, and IIRC it seems QMimeDatabase prepends the main glob pattern since 2012 (from before it was merged into qtbase).
