I think the problem is that in mandrake-mime there was a mixup between
the mime types for the Gimp format expected by GNOME and KDE. GNOME
wants image/x-xcf, as seen from the mime stuff in gimp1_3, KDE wants
image/x-xcf-gimp as seen in the existance of this file:
kdelibs-common:/usr/share/mimelnk/image/x-xcf-gimp.desktop
So I think the mandrake-mime package has to be fixed to assign
image/x-xcf-gimp to .xcf for KDE.

Well, you could try and copy
/usr/share/mimelnk/image/x-xcf-gimp.desktop to
/usr/share/mimelnk/image/x-xcf.desktop
to see if I'm right.
