When I do I get dozens of lines of applications lacking a MimeType key.
Here are the first few.

File '/usr/share/applications/meld.desktop' lacks MimeType key

I googled but only found msgs where things were failing.

Should I be concerned about the lack of MimeType keys and if so what
should I do about it.


For grins, I ran the command and received a lot of the same messages (probably all the kde4 apps and a few dozen non-kde4). So I'll second the OP's RFI...

TIA,
