Here, I meant mimelnk of course. applnk is created by the menu tools, isn't
it?

Hm... the last time I asked about this in KDE they promised in the 2.x
versions there would be a way of merging more than two "lnk" (applnk,
mimelnk, etc) directories into one common menu / association structure.
That way you were supposed to get global pre-installed /usr/share/applnk,
global customized /etc/kde2/applnk (put an empty file there to hide the
global pre-installed entry with the same name), and your own
$KDEHOME/share/applnk and all would merge together.
Did anything happen there? That would be the ideal solution ...

I know ;) but I have /usr mounted read-only and that was the only way to be
able to change the stuff without having to remount all the time.
