  I might need some help with this. It seems that the apps whose save dialogs 
show a combobox in place of a filter list are creating a `QDialog` and setting 
the Mime types list with `QDialog::setMimeTypeFilter()`. I haven't yet managed 
to figure out how this call is intercepted and replaced with a KFileDialog, or 
how KFileDialog can detect that there's a combobox of MIME types instead of a 
filter widget.

  Not sure what you mean?
