Program association weirdness (Was: Re: Please confirm: io-slave issue with kate editor)

[Anders Ellenshøj Andersen <andersa@ellenshoej.dk>]

Ok, I had an irc session with one of the kate developers, and here is the 
lowdown.

If I type in 'kate %U' manually in the open with dialogue, it will work!

But if I choose the icon in the tree which produces the exact same command 
line, then it doesn't work.

And wait! It doesn't stop there. I cannot save program associations if I use 
the icons in the tree to select the application I want to open with, but if I 
type the command line in manually, then the file associations are saved!

I am baffled..
