The command associated with the MIME type has to include %u as a 
parameter.

%u tells KDE that the application can handle URLs itself.
If it is missing, KDE assumes it has to present the data as a local file.

use %U if the application can handle  list of URLs

See the Desktop Entry Standard on
http://developer.kde.org/documentation/standards/index.html
for details.

Cheers,
Kevin
