Bug Description

After installing Calligra Words, KDE's file associations for plain text files is changed from Kate (or other plain text editor) to Calligra. While Calligra is an excellent word processor, it is not suitable for editing plain text items such as configuration files, scripts, and similar.

Current MIME types, according to calligrawords:kde4__words.desktop:

MimeType=application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text;application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text-template;application/msword;application/rtf;text/plain;application/x-mswrite;application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document;application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.template

X-Calligra-DefaultMimeTypes=application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text,application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text-template,application/msword,application/rtf,text/plain,application/x-mswrite,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.template

Proposed change: modify the installer such that Calligra does not place itself at the top of the application list for any text/* type if that type is already assigned to another application.
