I never changed the prefix, and our version of rosegarden.xml got installed in /usr/local, where it sat, ignored. Now I have the Rosegarden MIME types working in Dolphin. > OK the most important part is here (/usr/share) but I really wonder what's in > your /usr/share/xsessions/plasma (for my curiosity, can you do a `find` there, > to show me?) There is no /usr/share/xsessions/plasma. I have /usr/share/xsessions/plasma.desktop and it doesn't look like its contents would be interesting.

It's probable that nothing ever ran update-mime-database on /usr/local until I did just now. > Which btw can be done (kdialog --getopenfilename) but that is a somewhat > horrible solution.

If you can show me a better way, my friend, I despise the stylesheet with a burning passion. I knew what I wanted Rosegarden to look like, but I didn't know how to get there, and the thing is just an absolute nightmare of glue on top of duct tape on top of baling wire on top of chewing gum on top of old truck tires. That thing is truly my albatross. -- D.
