Why not just startx? Is XDG_DATA_DIRS set properly when you bring up a
terminal (e.g. konsole) in KDE? I think you need to check if you are
losing the environment when starting kdm.
You've got the files. It's just a matter of getting KDE to find them.
Another thing to try: Even if you get the messages, set
XDG_DATA_DIRS again in konsole and then launch konqueror from the
command line.
I'm not 100% sure the environment variable is XDG_DATA_DIRS, but trying
different things from a konsole instance will help isolate what is
happening.
Another idea, add a symlink:
ln -s /usr/share/mime /opt/kde/share/usr-mime
Not the right final solution, but it may give a clue.
